ByThis Day in Baseball

Before 54,940 at Yankee Stadium, Roy White launches a dramatic two-out two-run home run in the bottom of the 9th to give the Yanks a 5 – 5 tie with the Red Sox, and New York scores in the next inning on Reggie Jackson’s bases-loaded single to win, 6 – 5. White’s key hit comes after Bill Campbell retires the first two Yankees in the 9th and then Willie Randolph triples to bring up Bobby Murcer. Sparky Lyle picks up the win, handing Boston their first loss in eight games. With homers from Carl Yastrzemski, Butch Hobson and George Scott, the Sox set a major-league record of 33 homers in 10 games.

ByThis Day in Baseball

6/24/1977: Ralph Garr of the White Sox homered off Minnesota’s Paul Thormodsgard in Minneapolis. It came in the third inning with two men on and no one out. Jim Essian, the runner on first, thought the ball might be caught by the Twins’ right fielder, Dan Ford, so he retreated towards first base. Garr was watching the flight of the ball and passed Essian after rounding the bag. He was credited with a single and two runs batted in.

It’s not easy but the Yankees stop their five-game losing streak with a 12 – 11 win over Detroit. The Yankees are led by Graig Nettles, with a three-run homer, and Reggie Jackson, who belts a two-run triple.
