. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Orioles' six-game winning streak came to an end when the Angels scored in the 10th inning to gain a 3-2 victory. The Angels picked up an unearned run in the third, but the Orioles took a 2-1 lead in the fifth on a single by Andy Etchebarren and a homer by Paul Blair. After Ken McMullen and Bill Voss singled in the ninth, pinch-runner Jarvis Tatum counted the tying tally when Joe Azcue grounded into a double play. In the 10th, Sandy Alomar singled and Roger Repoz sacrificed. Following a wild pitch, Jim Fregosi drove in the winning run with a single. [The Sporting News]
