Respecting Dick Allen's power, the Angels walked the slugger purposely in the eighth inning, but Carlos May stepped to the plate and drove in a run with a single to win the game for the White Sox, 3-2. The White Sox scored their first two runs in the second on a single by May, double by Rick Reichardt and single by Ed Spiezio.

The Angels used singles by Jeff Torborg and Ken Berry, around two infield outs, to count once in the third and tied the score in the fourth when Pat Kelly dropped a fly by Sandy Alomar for a three-base error and Berry grounded out to allow Alomar to cross the plate. In the eighth, Kelly helped make up for his error by drawing a walk. Mike Andrews sacrificed. After a pass to Allen, May hit his single. [The Sporting News]
