Thurman Munson and Bobby Murcer each homered with two men on base as the Yankees erupted for eight runs in the 13th inning to defeat the White Sox, 18-10. Munson's homer, following a single by Murcer and pass to Roy White, broke a 10-10 tie.

Jerry Kenney reached second on two errors by Rich Morales and scored on a double by Sparky Lyle. Horace Clarke singled to drive in Lyle. After Rusty Torres walked, Murcer, up for a second time, climaxed the explosion with his homer. [The Sporting News]
