Winding up a high-scoring contest, the White Sox counted on a single by Bill Stein in the 12th inning and defeated the Orioles, 11-10. The Orioles were beaten although piling up 22 hits against 15 for the White Sox. The Orioles also had an advantage in extra-base blows with a homer, triple and double by Al Bumbry, homer by Doug DeCinces and doubles by Reggie Jackson, Ken Singleton and Paul Blair.

Jack Brohamer hit a homer for the White Sox, who also had doubles by Alan Bannister, Jim Essian and Pat Kelly. In the 12th, Essian beat out a bunt and moved to second on a sacrifice by Kevin Bell. Jorge Orta popped up, but Stein hit a grounder that struck third base and bounced away for a single, driving in Essian with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
