. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Winning his first major league start, Mike Proly scattered six hits in hurling the White Sox to a 5-2 decision over the Red Sox. With the Chisox trailing, 1-0, in the fourth inning, Ralph Garr doubled and came home on a circuit clout by Lamar Johnson. Bob Molinaro then belted Luis Tiant's next pitch into the right field bullpen. The Pale Hose added a pair in the eighth on doubles by Jorge Orta and Garr and a single by Johnson.
