. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A run-scoring single by Gene Michael in the sixth inning for his second RBI of the game provided the Yankees with their edge in a 5-4 victory over the Orioles. Graig Nettles homered in the second to start the Yankee scoring. In the fourth, a walk to Nettles, an infield out, single by Bernie Allen and doubles by Thurman Munson and Michael added three runs. Johnny Callison was safe on an error in the sixth and, after a single by Allen, scored the deciding run on Michael's single. [The Sporting News]
