The Red Sox, after erupting for four runs in the 11th inning to win the first game, 8-5, also defeated the Brewers in the second game, 7-3, to sweep a doubleheader. In the opener, the Red Sox tied the score at 4-4 in the ninth with a run on singles by Butch Hobson, Rick Miller and Rick Burleson. In the 11th, Hobson singled and scored on a triple by Burleson. After Fred Lynn drew an intentional pass, Jim Rice singled to score Burleson. The Red Sox proceeded to bat around and added two more runs on a sacrifice fly by Carlton Fisk and single by George Scott. The Red Sox left 20 men on base, tying the A.L. record for an 11-inning game.

In the nightcap, Scott homered in the second inning to start a four-run outburst that put the game away for the Red Sox. [The Sporting News]
