The Twins looked to salvage a game out of this series and were heartened when Bob Allison put them up 2-0. The lead evaporated when Rico Petrocelli doubled in the 7th, forcing this one into extra innings. The Twins had chances in each bonus frame but were denied. The Sox put them out of their misery in the 12th when seldom used Russ Gibson won it with a base knock!
