Ending a four-hour, forty-minute marathon, Mike Epstein drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the 18th inning to give the Senators a 2-1 victory over the Yankees. The Senators scored initially on a walk to Frank Howard and singles by Ken McMullen and Hank Allen in the sixth. The Yankees tied the count with a homer by Bobby Murcer in the ninth. Ed Stroud walked to open the 18th, took third on a one-out single by Allen and then scored easily on Epstein's fly to Roy White in left field.
