. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The White Sox, who had lost seven straight times to the Yankees this season, including both games of the previous day's doubleheader, bounced back with 8-3 and 3-1 victories in a sweep of a twi-night bargain bill. The White Sox won the opener with a five-run outburst in the 10th inning. Bill Melton drove in the first two tallies with a bases-loaded single and Ed Herrmann accounted for three others with a homer.

Tommy John pitched a six-hitter for the White Sox in the nightcap and Carlos May drove in all three runs with a homer and single, making up for his error that allowed the Yankees to score their lone tally. [The Sporting News]
