. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Orioles increased their lead over the rain-idled Yankees to one game in the East Division race when Bobby Grich scored on a slow roller by Bob Oliver with the bases loaded in the 17th inning to defeat the Brewers, 1-0. With one out, Grich drew a pass from Tom Murphy, Al Bumbry singled and Jim Northrup walked to load the bases.

Oliver then hit his grounder to Don Money, who was unable to make the play at the plate as Grich scored. Jim Colborn pitched the first 13 innings for the Brewers before yielding to Murphy. Jim Palmer, who started for the Orioles, doled out only four hits in 12 innings. Bob Reynolds followed and had to be bailed out in the 16th by Grant Jackson, who gained the victory.
