. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Suddenly losing his control, John Hiller walked three straight batters with two out in the ninth inning and Reggie Jackson followed with a single to give the Orioles a 4-3 victory over the Tigers. Jackson also accounted for the Orioles' initial run of the game with a homer in the first and Ken Singleton connected for the circuit in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
