Batting in the 13th inning, Terry Crowley homered after a pass to Don Baylor to give the Orioles a 9-7 victory over the Indians. Dave McNally, who started for the Orioles, gave up only five hits, including a circuit clout by Roy Foster, and had a 7-2 lead before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the ninth. However, Eddie Watt and Tom Phoebus failed in relief as the Indians rallied for five runs, three scoring on a pinch-homer by Ted Uhlaender, to send the game into overtime. [The Sporting News]
