Playing before a Bat Day throng of 51,904, their largest crowd since 1954, the White Sox beat the Yankees in both ends of a doubleheader, 6-1 and 5-4. The White Sox clinched the opener with four runs in the third inning on bases-loaded singles by Mike Andrews and Carlos May.

Victory in the nightcap was achieved more dramatically when Dick Allen came up as a pinch-hitter in the ninth and smashed a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
