. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Graig Nettles, swinging away after failing on a bunt attempt, doubled in the 10th inning to score Bobby Murcer and give the Yankees a 3-2 victory over the White Sox. Murcer reached base with a single, Horace Clarke bunted and was safe on a bad throw by Terry Forster before Nettles hit his double off the White Sox reliever. The Yankees scored their first two runs in the opening stanza on a walk to Elliott Maddox, double by Murcer and triple by Ron Blomberg. The White Sox picked up a run in the seventh on a double by Carlos May and error by Chris Chambliss and tied the score in the ninth when May singled, Ron Santo walked and Bucky Dent doubled.
