Bart Johnson won his own game with a run-scoring double in the seventh inning as the White Sox edged the Yankees, 3-2. A single by Roy White and homer by Bobby Murcer produced the Yankees' pair in the fourth inning. In the White Sox half, after a single by Syd O'Brien and a wild throw by Stan Bahnsen on an infield hit by Carlos May, Duane Josephson singled to tie the score. In the seventh, Ken Berry singled and was forced by Bobby Knoop before Johnson lashed his double to left-center field. [The Sporting News]
