Erupting for five runs in the 10th inning, the White Sox defeated the Mariners, 8-3. The Mariners sent the game into overtime when Bob Robertson tied the score at 3-3 with a homer in the ninth.

Starting the 10th, Harry Chappas singled, took second on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Claudell Washington. Chet Lemon also singled and Kevin Bell was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Mike Colbern singled, driving in two runs, and the remaining pair then counted on a sacrifice fly by Mike Squires and single by Rusty Torres. [The Sporting News]
