| A two-out, run-scoring double by Eddie Murray climaxed a two-run ninth inning that lifted the Orioles to a 6-5 victory over the Yankees and completed the three-game series sweep. The Orioles trailed, 5-4, going into the ninth, but got a break when Yankees left fielder Bobby Brown misjudged Lenn Sakata's fly ball into a leadoff triple. Two outs later, Rick Dempsey delivered the game-tying single. After Ken Singleton walked, Murray lined his winning double. [The Sporting News] |
