Although getting only three hits, the Orioles beat the White Sox, 2-1, in 12 innings. Pinch-hitter Pat Kelly and Kiko Garcia walked to lead off the 12th and advanced when pinch-hitter Terry Crowley flied out. Ken Singleton was walked intentionally to load the bases and, after Lee May struck out, Al Bumbry lined a single to left to drive home the winning run. [The Sporting News]
