The Orioles rallied for four runs in the sixth inning and defeated the White Sox, 6-3. Trailing, 3-2, the Orioles scored the tying run when Gary Roenicke was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Rick Dempsey then delivered the game-winning blow, driving in two runs with a double. Al Bumbry followed with a single to add an extra tally. [The Sporting News]
