Scoring eight runs in the last two innings of the first game and four runs in the last two innings of the second game, the White Sox beat the Indians in a doubleheader, 10-8 and 8-7. In the opener, the White Sox exploded for five runs in the eighth, three scoring on a homer by Chet Lemon. Then in the ninth, after one run scored on an error, Harold Baines knocked in two with a double to provide the deciding margin.

In the nightcap, the White Sox, after scoring four runs in the first inning, were blanked until adding three in the eighth. Then in the ninth, Jim Morrison beat out an infield hit, took third on a single by Ron Pruitt and scored as Bob Molinaro grounded into a double play for an 8-4 lead. That run proved decisive because Joe Charboneau hit a three-run homer in the Indians' half. [The Sporting News]
