Thursday April 15, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Two passes with the bases loaded and two out in the 10th inning handed the Orioles a 6-4 victory over the Indians. The Orioles filled the sacks on a single by Brooks Robinson, an error and a pass to Don Buford. Chuck Machemehl then walked Paul Blair to force in the first run and Steve Mingori came in and passed Boog Powell to donate the second tally. [The Sporting News]
