StatManDu Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 1970: The White Sox had their best offensive game in 15 years and their second best overall in hammering the Boston Red Sox 22-13 at Fenway Park. The 22 runs were the most by a Sox team since they scored a club record 29 in a win at Kansas City April 23, 1955. The 35 runs by both teams tied the club mark set on Sept. 9, 1921 and April 23, 1955. The Sox banged out 24 hits but their only home run came from Bill Melton, who hit a solo shot in the sixth. Melton finished with four RBIs. Leadoff man Walt Williams went 5-for-7 with five runs, a double and two RBIs while Luis Aparicio was 5-for-5 with three runs, a triple and three RBIs. Duane Josephson was 3-for-6 with two doubles and three RBIs and Ossie Blanco, who started at first base and batted third, was 2-for-5 with three RBIs. The Sox scored six in the first off Boston starter Gary Peters, who lasted just two-thirds of an inning. The Sox scored one in the third, three in the fourth, one in the fifth, seven in the sixth and four in the eighth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I don't remember as I was in a jungle in a faraway land in May 1970, but I'll take your word for it and say do it again (not the jungle part though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out in that direction on a business trip on Thursday morning. Will be watching the night games live first thing in the morning local time!

BigEdWalsh Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I remember very well watching that game on TV. I was at a friends summer cottage at Powers Lake, WI. When you're my age you remember weird stuff but I really don't recall what I had for dinner last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
