A single by Wohlford in the ninth inning scored Frank White from second base and gave the Royals a 3-2 victory over the White Sox, who lost for only the second time in their last 13 games. The Royals counted their initial pair in the first on a triple by George Brett, sacrifice fly by Hal McRae and John Mayberry's fourth homer in four games. The White Sox, after picking up a run in the sixth, tied the score in the ninth when Bucky Dent doubled and Jorge Orta singled. In the Royals' half, Al Cowens singled and White beat out a bunt. Fred Patek, trying to sacrifice, forced Cowens at third, but Wohlford then came through with his winning hit off Wilbur Wood. [The Sporting News] |
