White Sox 3, Senators 2 (3-2)
It’s pretty tough playing a double header but it’s even tougher when you second game goes 16 innings. The White Sox held on to win it though. They took a 2-0 lead before the Senators tied it up in the fifth but the White Sox took the lead again in the sixth with a single run. The Senators answered in the eighth and then neither team scored the seven innings. Finally in the bottom of the sixteenth, Jerry Adair drew a bases loaded walk that sent Berry home for the game winner.
Adair finished the game with two RBIs and Ken Berry scored twice. Tommy McCraw also had a nice game at the plate. He had four hits and a run.
Gary Peters threw a nice game for the Sox but he didn’t get a decision. He gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk with eight strikeouts in eight innings. Bob Locker, Wilbur Wood and Jack Lamabe then combined for seven innings of shutout ball before Dennis Higgins threw the top of the sixteenth to pick up the win.
