1967 American League Pennant Race

July 21, 1967 at Municipal Stadium
White Sox 5 (51-39), Athletics 4

The White Sox snapped a three game skid in a game they almost let get away.  They added a run in the top of the ninth to make it 5-2 only to need that final run because the A’s rallied for two in the ninth.  The A’s fell just short though and the White Sox ended up with the win.

Wilbur Wood improved to 2-0 with a decent start.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on six hits with two strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings.  Bob Locker got the final out in the ninth to pick up save number eleven as Hoyt Wilhelm gave up the two runs in the ninth.

Wayne Causey went three for five with a triple, two RBIs and a run.  Walt Williams went two for four with a walk, a run and an RBI.
