Bill Wight tossed a complete game at Comiskey Park where the Baltimore Orioles
beat the Chicago White Sox by the score of 4 to 3.
Baltimore scored all of the necessary runs in the 5th inning scoring 4 runners
on 4 hits. The big moment was provided by Willie Miranda who silenced the
stadium when he ripped a base-knock which was good for two runs. Chicago
threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.
Wight(4-4), allowing 3 runs for the game, picked up the victory. The loss was
charged to Harry Byrd(13-8). When questioned, Paul Richards remarked, 'It's
been a while since a win felt this good - heck, it's been a while since we
had a win period!'
