Friday September 13, 1974
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Nyls Nyman and Ken Henderson collected 11 hits between them and the White Sox got sharp pitching performances from Jim Kaat, Bart Johnson and Terry Forster in sweeping a twi-night doubleheader with the Angels, 8-0 and 3-1. Kaat posted his third straight shutout in the opener, holding the Angels to four hits. The White Sox pounded out 17, including three apiece by Nyman and Henderson. Ed Herrmann joined in the attack with a two-run homer.

In the nightcap, Henderson had three more hits and Nyman two. The White Sox began their scoring with a run in the third on an error, a sacrifice and double by Nyman. The rookie outfielder was hit by a pitch in the sixth, stole second and counted on a single by Henderson. Lamar Johnson singled in the seventh and completed his trip around the bases on a sacrifice, infield out and single by Lee Richard. Johnson gave up only three hits in the first seven innings but was lifted after yielding two singles in the eighth. Forster put down the threat, but the Angels avoided the shutout with a run in the ninth on a double by Ellie Rodriguez, single by John Balaz and infield out by Dave Chalk. [The Sporting News]
