With the bases loaded in the 10th inning, Thurman Munson beat the throw home on a grounder by Walt Williams to give the Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Royals. The winning rally started with one out when Munson singled and took third on another single by Graig Nettles. After an intentional pass to Chris Chambliss, Williams batted for Ed Herrmann and hit a grounder to Cookie Rojas, who made an off-balance throw that was wide of the plate as Munson slid across with the winning run.
