The Orioles decided this slugfest with a run on a double by Ken Singleton in the 10th inning to defeat the Rangers, 9-8. Dave Duncan hit two homers for the Orioles and Lee May contributed one, each with a man on base, while the Rangers had solo swats by Toby Harrah and Roy Smalley. The Rangers grabbed an 8-7 lead in the eighth with three runs on singles by Mike Hargrove and Jim Spencer, a triple by Lenny Randle and squeeze bunt by Jim Sundberg.

The Orioles tied the score in the ninth with singles by Tommy Davis, May and pinch-hitter Andy Etchebarren. In the 10th, Duncan singled and was forced out by Mark Belanger, who then showed his speed by scoring from first base on Singleton's double. [The Sporting News]
