The White Sox rewarded tremendous relief pitching by Terry Forster by scoring in the 14th inning on a double by Dick Allen and single by Jorge Orta to defeat the Rangers, 8-7. With Allen contributing a homer, the White Sox built up a 5-2 lead before the Rangers jumped on Stan Bahnsen and Cy Acosta for five runs in the sixth.

Forster, taking over, held the Rangers scoreless on four hits over the last 8 2/3 innings. Steve Foucault, who pitched the last eight innings in relief for the Rangers, was almost as effective as Forster. However, after replacing Steve Hargan in the seventh, Foucault gave up a two-run double by Bill Melton, creating the tie that persisted until Allen and Orta decided the game in the 14th.
