. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A single by Bert Campaneris with the bases full, producing two runs, was the key blow in a four-run sixth inning that carried the Rangers to an 11-6 decision overthe White Sox and their ninth victory in 10 games. The Rangers tied a major league record shared by four clubs with eight sacrifices, five sacrifice bunts and three sacrifice flies. The feat was last accomplished by the old St. Louis Browns against the Indians July 23, 1928. [The Sporting News]
