Friday August 7, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Exploding for seven runs in the seventh inning, the Indians beat the Orioles, 10-4. Tom Phoebus, who had a 4-1 lead, was chased to start the Tribe's big inning when Roy Foster and Duke Sims singled and Ray Fosse walked to load the bases. Ted Uhlaender singled off Dick Hall, driving in two runs, and Eddie Leon hit a sacrifice fly to tie the score.

With one out, Dennis Higgins singled to kayo Hall. With Pete Richert on the mound, Vada Pinson batted in a run with a double and Graig Nettles plated a pair with a single. Nettles took second on the throw home and counted when Foster hit his second single of the stanza. Uhlaender homered in the eighth and the Indians' final run followed on a double by Leon and single by Higgins. [The Sporting News]
