Tonight's game was certainly one that the Orioles could have won. They had 11 hits and three walk in the game but ended up leaving 7 men on base and only going 2 for 9 with runners in scoring position.
The Birds got on the board first in the top of the second when Rick Schu's single scored Mickey Tettleton. But a Rickey Henderson RBI ground out in the third allowed the Yankees to tie the game and a Jack Clark solo home run in the fourth put them up 2-1. The Orioles tied it in the fifth on an RBI single by Craig Worthington.
The game remained tied into the twelfth inning. Mark Thurmond came in that inning in relief and after striking out Gary Ward he gave up a game winning home run to Don Slaught. It was the second walk off home run surrendered by Thurmond in less than a week - he'd given up the game winner to Fred Lynn of the Tigers the previous Friday night.
