. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Terry Crowley hit a homer, double and single, driving in four runs, to pace the Orioles to a 6-0 victory over the Brewers. Jim Palmer pitched the first seven innings for the Birds and allowed only two hits. Grant Jackson gave up three in the last two frames but preserved the shutout.

Crowley set up the first run with his single in the fourth inning, hit his homer with two men on base in the sixth and doubled to plate one of the Orioles' last two tallies in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
