The White Sox finally opened their home season by sweeping a doubleheader from the Orioles, winning the first game, 3-1, and capturing the nightcap, 10-6. The twin triumphs gave the Pale Hose a 7-0 record. In the lidlifter, Britt Burns and Salome Barojas combined on a four-hitter as the Sox scored twice in the opening frame on a two-run homer by Greg Luzinski and added an insurance marker in the third on an RBI single by Steve Kemp.

The second game was tied, 6-6, when Jim Morrison led off the bottom of the eighth with a homer, and the Sox added three more runs in that same frame on a two-run double by Tony Bernazard and sacrifice fly by Luzinski. [The Sporting News]
