After trailing, 7-0, the Orioles capped their comeback by erupting for three runs in the 10th inning to defeat the Yankees, 11-8. Thurman Munson doubled for his 100th RBI of the season in the Yankees' early attack on Ross Grimsley.

The Yankees held an 8-3 lead going into the seventh when the Orioles rallied to tie the score. Lee May topped the outburst with a two-run single. In the 10th, Andres Mora singled. Tom Shopay, running for Mora, scored the tie-breaking run on singles by May and Ken Singleton. Mark Belanger then provided insurance with a single, driving in the Orioles' last two tallies.
