. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A seven-run explosion in the second inning carried the White Sox to a 10-3 rout of the Angels. A single by Jay Loviglio snapped a 1-1 tie and Greg Luzinski stroked a two-run single to highlight the outburst. Luzinski added a two-run homer in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
