A walk with the bases loaded capped a two-run rally in the ninth inning and enabled the Orioles to defeat the Brewers, 6-5. The Orioles, who had homers by Mark Belanger and Don Baylor to overcome the Brewers' early lead and tie the score at 4-4, fell behind again when Mike Hegan hit for the circuit in the eighth.

In the ninth, doubles by Tony Muser and Elrod Hendricks knotted the count. After an intentional pass to Al Bumbry, Ken Singleton was safe on an error by Robin Yount to load the bases. Royle Stillman then coaxed a pass from Tom Murphy to force in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
