Perfection was achieved in Chicago as Dean Chance(7-3) mesmerized the crowd
while retiring every Chicago White Sox batter, resulting in a 1 to nothing

Bob Allison came next and he doubled scoring the run. Chicago went down
without a fight in the bottom of the 9th.
Cisco Carlos(1-6) took the loss. 'Chance made us look bad' Eddie Stanky said.
