White Sox edge Yankees in vital cliffhanger 2 1
Hoyt Wilhelm, a 41 year old relief ace, secured a 2 1 victory for the Chicago White Sox over the New York Yankees. Wilhelm stranded two on base in the eighth and retired the side in the ninth after saving Juan Pizarro, part of a string that included a prior relief save against Boston. The game featured a seventh inning run on singles by Gene Stephens and Ron Hansen and a disputed run-down play at second base.
