With the bases loaded in the ninth inning, Lenny Randle beat the throw home on Mike Hargrove's grounder to Tim Nordbrook to bring the Rangers an 8-7 victory over the Orioles. The Rangers, who had an early homer by Dave Nelson, went ahead in the eighth, 7-6, when Tom Grieve hit for the circuit with a man on base, but Ken Singleton tied the score with a boundary belt in the ninth. Randle singled with one out in the Rangers' half, Cesar Tovar doubled and Nelson was handed an intentional pass before Hargrove grounded to Nordbrook, whose throw home was too late to force Randle.
