A rough first inning from Dave Boswell handed the win and doubleheader sweep to the Sox on a silver platter. Ron Hansen accounted for almost half of the home team’s runs cracking two round trippers among his half dozen RBIs. Bruce Howard allowed only 4 hits in collecting his second consecutive complete game shutouts.

NOTES: Every batter for huge Sox collected a hit save Agee. Six different players drove in runs. Bruce Howard has been spectacular since being chased from a start without retiring a batter. That was a month ago. The sweep gave the Sox a huge lead over second place Twins who failed to gain any ground in their chase.
