| Bobby Bonds' single in the ninth broke a tie and gave the Angels a 4-3 decision over the White Sox. Thad Bosley opened with a single, moved to second on an infield out and advanced to third when second sacker Jorge Orta bobbled Rance Mulliniks' grounder for an error. The Angels had a 3-0 lead early, but the Sox tied the game in the seventh on Oscar Gamble's homer which followed walks to Chet Lemon and Orta. [The Sporting News] |
