Saturday September 25, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Angels were held to four hits by Tommy John, but combined three of them with a double steal and two errors to defeat the White Sox, 3-2. Sandy Alomar led off with a single and Ken Berry bunted safely. On the double steal, Alomar set a California club record with his 38th theft of the season.

An error on a grounder by Jim Fregosi allowed Alomar to score. Ken McMullen singled to drive in Berry. A wild throw on an attempted double play then admitted Fregosi with what proved to be the deciding run. The Angels' only other hit off John was a wasted triple by McMullen with two out in the sixth.
