Successive singles by Dwight Evans, Butch Hobson and Denny Doyle in the 11th inning produced an 8-7 triumph for the Red Sox over the Angels, after the Angels had rallied for four runs in the ninth. The Red Sox struck for five runs in the sixth when Jim Rice hit a two-run homer and George Scott unloaded the first of his two solo blows. [The Sporting News]
