. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The White Sox broke out of their four-game losing streak by defeating the Brewers in a twi-night doubleheader, 8-5 and 8-3. Bill Melton homered in each game. The White Sox snapped a 5-5 tie in the seventh inning of the lidlifter when Mike Andrews walked, Tom Egan delivered a pinch-single and Rich McKinney rapped a pinch-double. Egan remained in the game and homered with a man on base in the ninth.

In the nightcap, Melton's homer broke a 2-2 deadlock in the seventh and the White Sox went on to add another run on a single by Rick Reichardt and double by Carlos May. McKinney then iced the decision with a three-run homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
