An iron-man effort by Wilbur Wood ended in defeat in the 14th inning when the Royals rallied for two runs on a double by Fran Healy to beat the White Sox, 4-3. The Royals used two pitchers. Steve Busby worked the first 11 innings and Doug Bird finished as the winner, although he almost wound up losing when the White Sox broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring single by Ken Henderson in the top half of the 14th. In the Royals' half, Jim Wohlford was safe on an error by Ron Santo. Al Cowens and Frank White, both attempting to sacrifice, beat out bunts to load the bases. Healy then doubled to drive in the tying and winning runs.
