The Brewers clouted six homers for a club record but needed a bases-loaded single by Gorman Thomas in the ninth inning to score their last two runs and defeat the Orioles, 11-10. Cecil Cooper hit two of the Brewers' round-trippers, while Larry Hisle, Ben Oglivie, Paul Molitor and Thomas smacked one apiece.

Although having only one homer by John Lowenstein, the Orioles led, 10-9, going into the last half of the ninth when Don Money was safe on an error by Mark Belanger, Cooper doubled and Hisle drew an intentional pass to set the stage for Thomas' winning single. [The Sporting News]
