The White Sox used the pitching of Wilbur Wood in the first game and a 14-hit attack in the second game to defeat the Senators in a doubleheader, 5-1 and 9-6. Pat Kelly batted in two runs with a double and Bill Melton hit a homer in the White Sox' support of Wood. Del Unser homered to account for the Senators' run off Wood, who pitched a five-hitter.
