. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Ken Henderson hit two homers and a sacrifice fly, driving in six runs, and Carlos May rapped five singles to lead a 21-hit attack by the White Sox in an 11-7 victory over the Twins. Henderson homered in the first inning with two men on base, added an RBI with his sacrifice fly in the fourth and belted a homer with one aboard in the sixth. May batted in three runs and scored three.

Although staked to a 7-0 lead by the White Sox, Ken Tatum couldn't stand the prosperity and was knocked out in the third inning. Joe Henderson, the second of three relief pitchers used by the White Sox, received credit for his first major league victory. Tony Oliva hit a homer for the Twins. [The Sporting News]
