Hitting his second homer of the game, George Hendrick connected with two men on base and two out in the ninth inning to climax a four-run rally that brought the Indians an 8-6 victory over the Red Sox. Hendrick hit his first homer in the opening frame and Charlie Spikes rapped another round-tripper in the second, but the Red Sox eventually took a 6-4 lead when Carl Yastrzemski hit for the circuit with a mate aboard in the eighth.

Opening the ninth, Frank Duffy singled, leading to the exit of Bill Lee. Roger Moret walked Alan Ashby and, after Duane Kuiper bunted into a forceout of Ashby, Boog Powell greeted the appearance of Dick Drago with a double, driving in Duffy. Kuiper also tried to score but was out at the plate. Rick Manning then walked and Hendrick hit his game-winning homer. [The Sporting News]
