. . . where the 1970s live forever!

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]
