. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Thad Bosley scored from third base on a suicide squeeze bunt by Mike Squires in the 12th inthe -ning to bring the White Sox an 8-7 victory over the Yankees. Bosley reached base by coaxing a walk from Tom Underwood, stole second and, with one out, stopped at third on a single by Bob Molinaro before racing home on Squires' bunt.

Molinaro remained in the game as DH after hitting a two-run pinch-homer in the eighth inning. The White Sox took the lead with a run in the 10th, but Graig Nettles prolonged the game with a homer in the Yankees' half. [The Sporting News]
