A wild pitch by Pete Richert in the 11th inning allowed Tony Conigliaro to score and gave the Red Sox a 9-8 victory over the Orioles, who blew an early six-run lead. After Davey Johnson homered in the second, the Orioles scored five times on two hits, three walks, a hit batsman and an error in the fourth. The Red Sox began their comeback with a homer by George Scott in their half of the fourth and eventually went ahead, 7-6, when Billy Conigliaro hit for the circuit with two men on base in the seventh.
