Manager Del Crandall allowed his regulars to choose the batting order out of a hat with a happy result for the Brewers, who broke their six-game losing streak by defeating the White Sox. 9-8. Designated hitter Bobby Mitchell drove in three runs with a homer in the fourth inning. The circuit clout was the first for the Brewers in nine games.

Hank Aaron batted in his second run of the game with an infield out in the fifth and Charlie Moore followed with a two-run single for what proved to be the Brewers' deciding hit. Pat Kelly, Jorge Orta and Carlos May, batting 1-2-3 in the White Sox order, each had three hits. Kelly's blows included a leadoff homer in the first inning. [The Sporting News]
