The winning run scored on a wild pitch as the Tigers rallied for four tallies in the ninth inning to edge the White Sox, 5-4. Trailing, 4-1, the Tigers loaded the bases on singles by John Wockenfuss and Al Cowens and a walk to Tom Brookens.

Pinch-hitter Champ Summers was hit by a pitch to force in the first run, a groundout by Duffy Dyer produced the second marker and the tying tally registered on a single by Ricky Peters. White Sox reliever Ed Farmer then uncorked a wild pitch while facing Alan Trammell. [The Sporting News]
