| With Jim Bibby pitching a five-hitter, the Indians defeated the White Sox, 3-0, for their fifth victory in a row and eighth in the last nine games. Ray Fosse staked Bibby to the only run that he needed with a homer in the fourth inning. The Indians iced the verdict in the ninth with a walk to George Hendrick, double by Buddy Bell and single by Frank Duffy. [The Sporting News] |
