. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A six-run outburst in the fifth inning provided the Athletics with a 9-4 victory over the White Sox. A double by Angel Mangual and singles by Joe Rudi and Reggie Jackson produced the first run. When Jay Johnstone bobbled the ball in center field, Rudi and Jackson moved up an extra base.

Rudi beat the throw home on a grounder by Tommy Davis, who was safe at first. An infield out by Sal Bando scored Jackson. A double by Dave Duncan and singles by Larry Brown and Dick Green followed, each driving in one run. [The Sporting News]
