. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The White Sox erupted for five runs in the fourth inning, three scoring on a homer by Rick Reichardt, to defeat the Red Sox, 8-4. Singles by Tom Egan, Stan Bahnsen and Walt Williams, together with an infield out by Carlos May, produced the first two runs of the outburst. After Dick Allen singled, Luis Tiant replaced John Curtis and on the reliever's second pitch, Reichardt smashed his homer. [The Sporting News]
