Cliff Mapes had 2 base hits and 3 RBI at Yankee Stadium as the New York

Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 5 to 3.

 

In the 2nd inning New York scored 3 runs with the help of 3 hits.  The key

offensive moment was provided by Mapes who brought the crowd to their feet

when he tripled scoring two baserunners.  Chicago had a chance to come back

in the 9th but they came up short.  

 

Tommy Byrne(13-5) went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the victory. Joe

Ostrowski recorded the save, his 4th.  Bill Wight(7-9) was the losing

pitcher.  He was hit hard and gave up 9 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings.  

 

'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it

was nothing.' Byrne said.  'I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't put

the ball where I wanted it.'
