. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After the Orioles won the completion of the July 31 suspended game, 6-5, the Brewers captured the regularly-scheduled contest, 5-3. In the completion of the suspended affair, which was 5-5 after nine innings, the Orioles won it in the bottom of the 10th. Lee May walked, stole second and, after an intentional pass to Andres Mora, scored on a pinch-single by Mike Anderson. It was Anderson's first hit in a Baltimore uniform.

Mike Caldwell, with relief help, posted his 14th win of the season for the Brewers in the regularly-scheduled game. A single by Robin Yount and homer by Larry Hisle gave the Brewers two runs in the first inning. Sal Bando hit a solo round-tripper in the second. A double by Gorman Thomas gave the Brewers a 4-1 lead in the fourth and their final tally came in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Yount. [The Sporting News]
