The speed of Don Baylor, who stole second and scored from there on throwing a error by Thurman Munson, enabled the Athletics to defeat the Yankees, 7-6. Baylor beat out an infield hit in the ninth inning, pilfered second and when Munson's throw went into center field, Baylor sped for third and continued home with the winning run.
