White Sox Sweep Sunday Doubleheader From Yankees In Front of 62,000

June 11, 1967 (D) @ Yankee Stadium

GAME 1: Chicago needed solid pitching from the back end of the rotation and got it with Jim O'Toole (3-1) and Bruce Howard (2-4) providing strong outings and leading the White Sox to a twin killing at Yankee Stadium, 2-1 and 3-2.

O'Toole checked New York on 4 hits through 5 innings in game 1 (an rbi by Mickey Mantle) and Hoyt Wilhelm 3.2 innings and Wilbur Wood 1/3 inning (his 2nd save) chipped in with solid relief  helping Chicago clip the Yanks in Game 1.  It was Wayne Causey lining a hit to right scoring JC Martin with the go ahead run in the 4th and the Sox held on for the 2-1 win.

Fritz Peterson (0-5) suffered the game 1 loss.  Don Buford and Ken Berry had 3 hits a piece with Causey and Buford knocking in the lone 2 runs for Chicago.  Pete Ward (3), JC Martin (1), Don Buford (14) and Ken Berry (5) each had a stolen base. The White Sox dinged out 11 base hits in the opener.

GAME 2:  Starting pitcher Bruce Howard handcuffed the Bronx Bombers with shutout ball through eight innings before allowing a 2 run home run to Jake Gibbs in the ninth. Bob Locker (9SV) induced Elston Howard to ground out for the final out to give the Palehose a 3-2 victory and sweep of the twinbill in front of over 62,000 fans.

Gerald McNertney had the big blow of the day with a one out 3 run home run in the 4 inning off Mel Stottlemyre (5-6) scoring Ken Berry and Dick Kenworthy ahead of him. It was all the scoring the Chisox needed as pitching again ruled the day. The White Sox leave New York in 1st place with a 31 - 20 record.

White Sox at Yankees 1st of 4 games Weekend Series

Over 19,000 witnessed New York Yankees Al Downing and Chicago White Sox Tommy John in a classic pitching confrontation during the first game of an important four games series at Yankee Stadium. John surrendered a 7th inning solo home run to Elston Howard giving the Yanks a 1-0 lead, before Palehose centerfielder Ken Berry drove in Tommy McCraw with a 9th inning game tying single off Downing. Horace Clark's one out rbi single off reliever Bob Locker scored Steve Whitaker with the game winning run in the bottom of the tenth inning, giving the Bronx Bombers a 2-1 victory.

Tommy John was near flawless save for the Howard dinger;  allowing only 5 hits through 7 innings before giving way to Bob Locker in relief. Al Downing had 8 K's and surrendered 8 hits through 8 1/3 innings. Steve Hamilton picked up the win after pitching to only one batter in the 10th. Locker took the loss. Ken Berry was 2 for 4 with the lone rbi; Tommy McCraw went 2 for 4 and a run scored; while Walt Williams had 3 hits in 5 at bats. Tommie Agee had a tough night with 3 K's in clutch situations.
