July 4, 1962
The traditional 4th of July doubleheader was in full force in the AL today. All 10 teams played 2 today. The Bal. @ Chi. games both went extra innings, leading to a long day at the ballpark. But the hometown fans weren't disappointed when the White Sox won both games. Game 1 went 13 innings before the Sox came away with a 3-2 win. Game 2 went 14 innings before Luis Aparicio won it with solo shot for another 3-2 victory. Game 1 of the KC @ NY doubleheader went 15 innings before the Yankees pulled out a 9-8 win. The Athletics took Game 2 4-1 in a 9 inning contest. The Washington Senators were the day's biggest winners when they took both games of their doubleheader against the LA Angels. The Senators gained 2 games on the league leading Minnesota Twins who dropped both of their games against the Boston Red Sox. My Detroit Tigers had an opportunity to gain 2 games on the Twin themselves. They defeated the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 and had a 7-3 lead late in Game 2 before collapsing and losing in 11 innings 8-7.
