. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A single by Chet Lemon drove in the winning run as the White Sox edged the Yankees, 4-3, in 14 innings. Bob Molinaro led off the 14th with a walk, stole second and reached third when pitcher Jim Kaat misplayed Harry Chappas' sacrifice bunt.

After Alan Bannister was intentionally walked, Jim Morrison bounced into a home-to-first double play. Lamar Johnson was intentionally walked to reload the bases and Lemon followed with a liner to right, driving in Chappas. [The Sporting News]
