Wednesday September 3, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run triple by Al Cowens with two out in the 10th inning enabled the Royals to defeat the White Sox, 5-4. Back-to-back homers by George Brett and John Mayberry gave the Royals a 2-0 lead in the fourth, but the White Sox picked up a run in the sixth and went ahead in the seventh when Jerry Hairston singled and Jorge Orta hit for the circuit. The Royals tied the score in the eighth with a double by Brett and single by Mayberry.

In the 10th, Amos Otis singled and was forced by Brett. Mayberry followed with a single, but Cookie Rojas struck out before Cowens delivered his deciding triple. Marty Pattin relieved Dennis Leonard to face the White Sox in their half of the 10th and gave up a run on three singles before retiring the side. [The Sporting News]
