Monday June 19, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Hitless in 20 previous times at bat, Leroy Stanton knocked in two runs with a triple in the sixth inning and scored himself on a single by Leo Cardenas as the Angels rallied to defeat the Orioles, 4-3. Bobby Grich homered for the Orioles with a man on base and set up another run with a single before the Angels began their comeback with a circuit clout by Ken McMullen in the fifth. Ken Berry, who singled, and Bob Oliver, who walked, were on base when Stanton broke his slump with his triple in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
