Jesse Jefferson and Cecil Upshaw each yielded only one hit as the White Sox posted a 9-2 victory in the second game to complete the sweep of a doubleheader after a two-base hit by Bob Coluccio in the 10th inning beat the Twins in the first game, 6-5. Although Rod Carew, Johnny Briggs and Dan Ford hit homers for the Twins in the opener, the White Sox held a 5-4 lead going into the ninth before being forced into a tie when Steve Brye singled, Briggs walked and Jerry Terrell singled. With two out in the 10th, Bucky Dent beat out an infield hit, Brian Downing walked and Coluccio doubled to drive in pinch-runner Lee Richard.

Jefferson, who started the nightcap, walked Dan Ford to open the sixth inning and gave up a single by Eric Soderholm for the Twins' only hit off his deliveries. After Tony Oliva forced Soderholm, Ford scoring, Jefferson left the mound because his arm was beginning to feel the effects of being hit by a batted ball earlier in the game. Upshaw relieved and the Twins' only other hit came when Briggs homered in the seventh. The White Sox iced the victory in the third when Deron Johnson homered with a man on base and Buddy Bradford hit for the circuit with two aboard. [The Sporting News]
