Two batters in, the Orioles took a two run lead on a homer by Paul Blair who was a Yankee slayer on this day. Yet, the Pinstripers rallied to snag a 5-3 lead after 6 thanks to the slugging of the home club’s middle of the order. But the Birds were not to be denied as they responded with 8 unanswered runs, 5 driven on by the fleet centerfielder Blair, the rest off a blast by ace reliever Eddie Watt!
