A three-run homer by Carlton Fisk sparked the White Sox to a 5-3 season-opening triumph over the Red Sox. The Chisox trailed, 2-0, in the eighth when pinch-hitter Bob Molinaro drew a leadoff walk and reached second on a single by Ron LeFlore. Mike Squires sacrificed the runners along and Fisk then delivered the big blast against his former teammates. The White Sox added another pair of tallies in the ninth on two singles, an error and an RBI infield out.
