Monday August 24, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Scoring nine runs before Seattle got on the board, the Orioles outslugged the Mariners, 12-8. Ken Singleton cracked a two-run homer in the first inning and Rich Dauer smashed a pair of round-trippers, a two-run clout in the third and three-run blast in the fourth. Eddie Murray, who was 4-for-5 with three RBIs, hit his 14th homer in the eighth for Baltimore's final run. [The Sporting News]
