A single by Rick Manning in the 10th inning drove in Duane Kuiper and gave the Indians a 4-3 victory over the White Sox. Tommy Smith batted the Indians to an early 2-1 lead, driving in one run with a single in the second and hitting a homer in the fifth.

The Indians made it 3-1 with a triple by Manning and single by Rico Carty in the sixth before the White Sox tied the score in the ninth on a single by Pat Kelly, triple by Jack Brohamer and single by Bucky Dent. In the 10th, Kuiper singled, Larvell Blanks sacrificed and Manning won the game with his single. [The Sporting News]
