Amateur umpires, officiating in place of the striking regular arbiters, ejected manager Earl Weaver, right fielder Ken Singleton and coach Cal Ripken as the Orioles lost to the Brewers, 9-3. Singleton was thumbed for disputing a called third strike in the fifth inning and Weaver was bounced after joining in the argument.

Ripken, who replaced Weaver as acting manager, was tossed out for his tirade over a balk call on Don Stanhouse in the seventh when the Brewers scored five runs to ice the decision. Lee May accounted for the Orioles' tallies with a homer, while Cecil Cooper and Robin Yount contributed round-trippers to the Brewers' attack. [The Sporting News]
