1972: Carlos May and Wilbur Wood did most of the White Sox damage in a 2-0 win -- their sixth straight -- over the Yankees in New York. May hit a two-run homer and Wood went the distance and gave up three hits and two walks with four strikeouts for his 10th win. May's blast was just one of five hits the Sox would muster that day and came with one out in the eighth off Mel Stottlemyre with Dick Allen on first.

 

 

1973: Johnny Jeter had the game of his life in the White Sox 10-2 win over the Tigers in Detroit. Jeter ignited the romp with a home run off Mickey Lolich and later singled and scored. Jeter also doubled as the Sox pounded three Tiger hurlers for 13 hits. Dick Allen was 3-for-3 while Carlos May, Bill Melton and Rick Reichardt also homered in support of Stan Bahnsen, who went the distance to improve to 7-5.

 

 

1978: WHAT A COMEBACK! The White Sox overcame an 9-0 deficit after three innings by scoring six in the third and four in the fourth in nipping the Indians 10-9 before 12,000 at Comiskey Park. The Sox were able to survive the worst start of Wilbur Wood's career. Wood did notretire a batter and gave up four runs on three hits with a walk and a wild pitch before being pulled in favor of Pablo Torrealba, who did not fare much better. By the time Rich Hinton had gotten through the third, the Sox were in a nine-run hole. The Sox scored six in the third thanks to two Indian errors and took the lead with four in the fourth. The Sox went on top to stay when Jorge Orta's ground out scored Wayne Nordhagen. An out earlier, the Sox pulled even on Lamar Johnson's single. Hinton was the hero, tossing 6.1 innings and surrendering just one run on five hits for the victory.
