Walt Williams doubled home the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning and scored an insurance tally on a sacrifice fly to lead the Yankees to an 8-6 triumph over the Red Sox and regain first place in the A. L. East. The nationally televised game was tied 6-6 when Sandy Alomar opened the Yanks' eighth with a single. Bobby Bonds forced Alomar but Williams followed with a screeching double that went past third baseman Rico Petrocelli and eluded Carl Yastrzemski in the left-field corner. Bonds scored and Williams took third on the throw to the plate. Thurman Munson's fly to deep right then delivered Williams.
