Jorge Orta singled home pinch-runner Nyls Nyman in the top of the 11th, giving the White Sox a 7-6 nod over the Yankees. Nyman was running for Carlos May, who had walked and moved to second on a sacrifice. Bucky Dent's three-run homer in the seventh had pulled the Sox into a 6-6 tie.

Thurman Munson and Graig Nettles drove in first-inning runs to give the Yanks a 2-0 lead. Chicago counted once in the second and Pete Varney tied the score in the third with his first big league homer. Nettles put the home club back in front with a two-run double in the bottom of the third, then homered in the fifth after New York had scored a single run in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
