The Yankees broke a tight game apart with four runs in the 11th inning and then staved off a counter-rally to defeat the Brewers, 6-5. An error by Robin Yount enabled the Yankees to score twice in the ninth to knot the count at 2-2 and force the game into overtime.

In the 11th, two walks and a double by Sandy Alomar broke the tie. After another walk, Thurman Munson batted in two runs with a single and Graig Nettles hit a sacrifice fly to add what proved to be the deciding tally. The Brewers came back with three runs in their half, but the rally ended when Hank Aaron grounded into a double play with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
