Tuesday May 4, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Red Sox rallied for two runs in the seventh inning and defeated the White Sox, 4-3. Rico Petrocelli singled, George Scott doubled and Billy Conigliaro singled for the tying run. Then, after an intentional pass to Mike Fiore, Phil Gagliano scratched a hit off the glove of Terry Forster to drive in the deciding marker. [The Sporting News]
