After going on a scoring spree to win the first game, 21-11, the Red Sox settled down to more reasonable baseball and also took the second game, 4-1, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader with the White Sox. Mike Andrews, Reggie Smith and George Scott each had four of the 22 hits by the Red Sox in the wild opener and drove in four runs apiece. Carl Yastrzemski and Scott smashed homers. In the second inning, when the Red Sox sent 12 men to bat and scored eight runs, Scott accounted for three with a bases-loaded double. The White Sox pulled within three runs at 13-10, but the Red Sox added a pair in the eighth and finished off with six more runs in the ninth.

Rico Petrocelli batted in two runs with a homer and sacrifice fly in the nightcap and Andrews produced two with a homer to back up the five-hit pitching of Mike Nagy. [The Sporting News]
