Crowley Ignites an Oriole Ambush in the Bronx



American League:
Baltimore 19 at New York 3
-The Yankees took a 3-0 lead in the 1st and watched as the Orioles piled up the final nineteen runs in an ambush in the Bronx. Terry Crowley’s pinch-hit three run double in the 4th gave the Orioles the lead. Elliott Maddox (.313) had five hits and Jim Northrup drove in four
Detroit 2 at Boston 10 (Game 1)
-Jim Rice continues to maul opposition pitching as he hits his 47th and 48th home runs of the year as the Red Sox lower their magic number to 2
Detroit 16 at Boston 15 (Game 2)
-Bill Madlock’s RBI single in the 9th was the knockout blow in a game where both teams got off the mat from huge deficits. The Red Sox led 6-1 and 8-2 before the Tigers scored thirteen straight runs. Down 15-8 in the 8th the Red Sox rallied for seven runs in the 8th capped by Bob Watson’s 25th home run of the year. The teams combined for forty hits and six home runs.
Cleveland 0 at Milwaukee 4
-Mike Caldwell (11-16, 3.10) caps off a disappointing season with a four-hit shutout of the hard-hitting Tribe
Oakland 2 at Minnesota 3
-Two more RBI’s for Eric Soderholm and a win in relief for Mike Marshall (9-5, 3.72). The Twins win means the White Sox will finish last
California 6 at Kansas City 2
-Frank Tanana (20-9, 3.20) goes the distance for his 20th win and Ron Jackson (15HR) homered and drove in four. Tanana is a free agent this offseason.
Chicago 3 at Texas 11
-Stan Perzanowski (20-5, 2.73) also goes the distance for win #20. The Rangers scored ten on Wilbur Wood (1-7, 5.63) in five innings. Leo Cardenas hit his 6th home run and drove in four

AL East: The Red Sox lead the Orioles by a single game with two days remaining.
AL West:  The Royals have clinched the division crown

National League
St. Louis 7 at Chicago 5
-
Ted Simmons went 4-for-5 to raise his average to .324. This gives the Cardinals three regulars batting over .320 (Lou Brock .341 & Bake McBride .330). Eric Rasmussen (16-10, 2.79) finishes off a fine campaign for the Cards.
New York 1 at Montreal 4
-Home runs by Jerry White (6) and Andre Thornton (8) help Steve Rogers (12-12, 3.28) finish at .500. The Mets lose their 100th game.
Pittsburgh 3 at Philadelphia 5
-
Mike Schmidt hits his NL high 40th home run and Jim Lonborg (14-9, 3.50) earns the win that assures the Phils of a .500 season at worst.
Atlanta 2 at Houston 4
-Rookie Bob Knepper (15-2, 2.47) goes eight innings and ensures himself the NL ERA title. Ken Forsch (39Sv, 2.69) may earn NL fireman of the year and Mike Ivie’s 37th home run padded his NL high RBI total. If Ivie wins the MVP it’s conceivable the Astros sweep the NL postseason awards.
Los Angeles 7 at San Diego 3
-Steve Yeager (.221 14HR) tripled and homered and Jerry Reuss (18-7, 3.70) pitched eight strong innings for the win
Cincinnati 4 at San Francisco 5
-Rawly Eastwick (4-7, 2.45) only had two blown saves heading into this week but that number has doubled after giving up two in the 9th to the Giants. Former Red Pedro Borbon (7-5, 4.09) pitched two shutout innings for the win.

NL East: The Pirates have won the division for the second straight season
NL West: The Astros have won the West and will have home-field versus the Pirates
