Saturday July 19, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Yankees completed the suspended game of July 12 with an 8-7 victory in the 16th inning, but the Twins came back to win the regularly-scheduled contest, 2-1, on the four-hit pitching of Jim Hughes and two-run double by Danny Thompson. The game of July 12 was transferred from New York after being stopped by a 1 a.m. curfew after 14 innings with the score tied, 6-6.

After play resumed, the Twins took the lead in the 16th when Rod Carew singled, stole second and scored on a single by Tom Lundstedt. The Yankees then rallied to win in their half. Roy White and Thurman Munson singled and, after Fred Stanley forced Munson, Graig Nettles singled to drive in White and Lou Piniella singled to score Stanley. [The Sporting News]
