Thursday July 15, 1976
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Wrecking the percentage theory, Pat Kelly smashed a two-run homer in the 10th inning to lift the White Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Brewers. All runs in the game came on homers. Chet Lemon rapped a solo swat for the White Sox in the first and Jack Brohamer connected with a man on base in the second before George Scott tied the score with a three-run drive for the Brewers in the fifth.

In the 10th, after the White Sox had two out, Jorge Orta doubled off Jim Slaton. The Brewers then brought in southpaw Ray Sadecki to face Kelly, who bats lefthanded, but the move failed with Kelly's winning homer. [The Sporting News]
