. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After coming from behind to erase a 7-0 deficit and force the game into overtime, the Orioles exploded for six runs in the 14th inning and beat the Red Sox, 13-8. The Red Sox built up most of their early lead at the expense of Mike Cuellar, who was kayoed in the fifth inning after giving up 10 hits, including a homer by Jerry Moses.

The Orioles began their comeback with five runs in the sixth on a homer by Frank Robinson, three singles and a homer by Davey Johnson. Merv Rettenmund hit for the circuit in the ninth and the tying tally followed on a single by Brooks Robinson, a wild pitch and a double by Andy Etchebarren, scoring pinch-runner Jim Palmer.

In the 14th, the Orioles sent 11 men to bat. Etchebarren led off with a safe bunt, Paul Blair walked and Don Buford singled to break the tie. After Terry Crowley walked, Frank Robinson beat out a bunt, plating the second run. Boog Powell and Merv Rettenmund each hit two-run doubles to complete the outburst. Billy Conigliaro homered in the Red Sox half of the 14th. [The Sporting News]
