Thursday April 30, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Ken Singleton, who entered the game with a .490 hitting mark, slugged his seventh home run and Mike Flanagan tossed a three-hitter in the Orioles' 4-0 victory over the Blue Jays. Singleton's shot came in the first inning. The Orioles scored their other runs in the second on an RBI single by Doug DeCinces, throwing error by Danny Ainge and RBI double by Al Bumbry.
