Friday August 28, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The four-hit pitching of Marty Pattin and a two-run double by Danny Walton combined to give the Brewers a 2-1 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Orioles came back to win the second game, 8-4, on the strength of a grand-slam homer by Don Buford. In the lidlifter, Walton delivered his decisive two-bagger in the sixth inning after a double by Russ Snyder and a pass to Mike Hegan. Elrod Hendricks homered for the Orioles' marker in the eighth.

The Orioles wiped out a 4-2 deficit in the nightcap by exploding for five runs in the sixth. Merv Rettenmund drew a pass, stole second and reached third on a wild pitch before Brooks Robinson walked. Hendricks hit a sacrifice fly to score Rettenmund. A double by Davey Johnson kayoed Gene Brabender. Dave Baldwin, in relief, walked Boog Powell to load the bases, setting the stage for Buford's slam. Rettenmund added the last run with a round-tripper in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
