A homer by Ed Herrmann in the 10th inning provided the White Sox with their winning run, but Bill Sharp saved the 3-2 victory by throwing out a runner at the plate in the Angels' half of the overtime frame. Bill Melton homered with a man on base for the first two White Sox runs in the second. After the Angels tied the count with a pair of singletons, Herrmann decided Jim Kaat's duel with Nolan Ryan by hitting his homer in the 10th.

In the Angels' half, Bobby Valentine led off with a single, bringing Terry Forster to the mound in relief of Kaat. Winston Llenas sacrificed and Bruce Bochte struck out. Bob Oliver then singled to right field, where Sharp grabbed the ball and made a strong throw to the plate to retire Valentine as he tried to score. [The Sporting News]
