With two out in the 10th inning, Bert Campaneris and Bill North drew walks from Dick Selma and those passes proved fatal to the Angels when Sal Bando singled, scoring Campaneris, to provide the Athletics with a 7-6 victory. The Athletics had a homer by Joe Rudi in building up a 6-2 lead against Nolan Ryan, who started for the Angels. Ken Holtzman, pitching for the A's, was lifted after Dave Chalk singled to open the eighth. Bobby Valentine and Bob Oliver followed with singles to drive in Chalk and Mike Epstein then smashed a three-run homer to tie the score and send the game into overtime. [The Sporting News]
