Game 2 – Joe Rudi’s 2-run double in the 3^rd provided all the offense for the Halos in a 2-1 win. Frank Tanana (6-4) was the winner with Dave LaRoche (9) adding the save.

Game 3 – An 11-run 1^st inning for the Angels highlighted a crazy closing game for the series. Ron Fairly’s 3-run bomb and Lyman Bostock’s 2-run triple were the biggest blows. However, the White Sox answered back with 2 in the home 1^st and 8 more in the 2^nd to make it 11-10. Ralph Garr’s bases clearing triple and Bill Naharodny’s 3-run homer helped closed the gap.
