. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After being held to three singles by Dave McNally, the Yankees erupted with two out in the seventh inning and scored three runs to defeat the Orioles' 21-game winner, 3-2. Singles by Ron Woods, Ron Hansen and Gene Michael produced the first run. After a pass to Bobby Murcer loaded the bases, Horace Clarke came through with a two-run double. The paid attendance of 20,008 at the game put the Yankees over the million mark for the 25th consecutive season. [The Sporting News]
