Deciding a tight game, the Orioles scored twice in the 10th inning on a single by Earl Williams and sacrifice fly by Don Baylor to defeat the Indians, 3-1. Mark Belanger homered for the Orioles and Frank Duffy for the Indians to produce a 1-1 tie before the Orioles opened the 10th with a single by Boog Powell, who gave way on the paths to Enos Cabell. After a sacrifice by Paul Blair, Brooks Robinson was passed intentionally. Williams then singled to score Cabell. Following a pass to Belanger, Baylor wrapped up the decision with his sacrifice fly, scoring Robinson. [The Sporting News]
