Making up for his error, Jim Wohlford singled in the 11th inning to spark the Royals to a 5-3 victory over the Angels. After his hit, Wohlford scored the tie-breaking run on singles by George Brett and Hal McRae. John Mayberry followed with a sacrifice fly for an insurance tally. Andy Etchebarren homered for the Angels in the second, but the Royals took a 3-1 lead in the fourth on singles by Amos Otis and Bob Stinson, a double by Fred Patek and single by Wohlford.

The Angels tied the score in the seventh. Rudy Meoli walked and Billy Smith singled. With two out, Mickey Rivers singled, driving in Meoli, and when Wohlford overthrew third base, Smith counted the tying run on the outfielder's error. [The Sporting News]
