Monday September 8, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Wayne Nordhagen singled home the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the White Sox a 3-2 triumph over the Mariners. The score was 2-2 with one out in the 12th when Chet Lemon was hit by a pitch.

After the second out, Lemon stole second and raced home on Nordhagen's blow. Rich Dotson had a no-hitter before Larry Milbourne singled in the Seattle eighth and Jerry Narron then hit a two-run pinch-homer. [The Sporting News]
