A slugfest that produced seven homers, four doubles and one triple among a total of 31 hits saw the Yankees prevail over the Athletics, 10-9. Thurman Munson, Roy White and Ron Blomberg homered for the Yankees, while the Athletics had two round-trippers by Reggie Jackson and one each by Deron Johnson and Bert Campaneris. Munson hit his homer with two men on base and added a fourth RBI with a squeeze bunt. Jackson and Johnson, who had three hits apiece, each drove in four runs for the A's. [The Sporting News]
