A run-scoring double by Ken Henderson, together with the relief pitching of Terry Forster, enabled the White Sox to defeat the Angels, 1-0. Jorge Orta singled in the sixth inning and after Dick Allen struck out, Henderson delivered his double to beat Ed Figueroa.

Bart Johnson, starting for the White Sox, yielded only two infield hits until the seventh when Denny Doyle and Charlie Sands singled to put Angel runners on first and third with one out. Forster relieved and stifled the threat, striking out Morris Nettles and getting Bobby Valentine on a grounder. [The Sporting News]
