Wednesday July 2, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Lee May went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs to spark the Orioles to a 6-2 victory over the Blue Jays. With Toronto holding a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning, Eddie Murray walked, Benny Ayala singled and Doug DeCinces walked to load the bases.

May then stroked a two-run single and Rick Dempsey added a run-scoring single to give the Orioles a 3-1 lead. Baltimore picked up three more tallies in the fifth, two scoring on a single by May. [The Sporting News]
