Connecting for his fourth hit of the game, Jim Morrison homered after a single by Jorge Orta in the 10th inning to carry the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Twins. Doubles by Morrison and Marv Foley and a single by Harry Chappas produced the first two runs for the White Sox in the second. The Twins picked up a tally on a single by Ron Jackson and triple by John Castino in the fifth and tied the score with a homer by Roy Smalley in the eighth. [The Sporting News] |
