More Bad Juju as Athletics Drop 8th Straight
U.S. Cellular Field was host to some intense drama.

Chicago beat Oakland at U.S. Cellular Field, escaping with a 7-6 win. The win in large part was due to designated hitter George Scales. He was 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Chicago reliever Hoyt Wilhelm picked up the win, while Dennis Eckersley took the loss for Oakland.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With no one out, Scales hit a slider from Dennis Eckersley for a run-scoring single. The White Sox, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We're not trying to lose games," Oakland manager said. "We're working as hard as we can every single day to win ballgames."

The losses continue to add up for Oakland, having now dropped 8 straight.
