Here is what the book "White Sox Journal" had to say about April 15, 1983.
"At Comiskey Park, Milt Wilcox of the Tigers retires the first 26 White Sox batters to face him, but his bid for a perfect game ends when pinch-hitter Jerry Hairston hits a clean single up the middle with two out in the ninth inning. Wilcox then retired Rudy Law to close out a one-hit, 6-0 victory."
Those people cheering when Hairston got the hit must have been Cub fans. They didn't know any better.
I found box scores for the game at baseball-almanac.com and baseball-reference.com. Type in date and teams.
