GAME ONE – Ed Herrmann’s (2,3) 2^nd HR of the day was a 2-run bomb to right in the B10 to lift the White Sox a 4-3 win over Minnesota.

GAME TWO – Bill Melton singled home Carlos May (5 hits) in B13 to send another extra-inning crowd at Comiskey home with smiles on their faces. The Pale Hose prevailed 9-8. This was a wild one with both teams scoring in large chunks and banging out 18 hits apiece. Chicago struck first with 4 runs in the 2^nd. Buddy Bradford got things started with a 1-out double.

The ChiSox tied the game at 5-5 when May singled in Ron Hansen. In the 12^th, the Twins seemed to have the game in hand putting up a 3-spot. Charlie Manuel’s double was the highlight.
