For the second straight night, the White Sox scored with two out in the ninth inning to defeat the Orioles, 4-3. Bill Sharp, who walked with two away, raced home from first base with the winning run on a double by Ed Herrmann. The White Sox scored their three other runs in the first on a single by Jorge Orta, pass to Carlos May, single by Ken Henderson and outfield errors by Paul Blair and Jim Fuller. The Orioles tied the score with a homer by Fuller in the seventh and two-run blow by Bobby Grich in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
