. . . where the 1970s live forever!

While the Yankees' winning streak was extended to six games with a 6-3 victory, the losing streak of the White Sox mounted to 10 in a row. The Yanks iced the game with a five-run outburst in the third inning. After singles by Fran Healy and Fred Stanley accounted for the first run, a walk to Roy White loaded the bases.

Thurman Munson drove in two runs with a single and another scored when Ken Brett threw wildly after cutting off the throw to the plate. Chris Chambliss followed with a sacrifice fly for the fifth tally. [The Sporting News]
