Blair World Series MVP

Baltimore center fielder Paul Blair was named World Series Most Valuable Player. Although known best for his speed and defensive wizardry, Blair hit .474 with five doubles, a pair of home runs, and nine RBI over the five games. Both of the homers came in game two at Shea Stadium, the second of which was a grand slam that turned the game into a 10-3 laugher that sent the Orioles home with a 2-0 lead in the series. Blair also drove in at least one run in four of the five games.

Orioles last ditch rally clinches championship

In a manner fit for a Hollywood script, the Baltimore Orioles scored five runs in the bottom of the 9th inning to claim the 1970 World Championship. Frank Robinson cracked his first postseason homer to tie the game and Boog Powell sent one into orbit toward left-center field to send the hometown crowd onto the field as he circled the bases. The unbelievable finish had the stunned but ecstatic fans screaming long after champagne had begun flowing in the home team clubhouse, but was only fitting for a team that had rung up 114 regular season victories and had appeared invincible throughout the postseason, losing just one game in each series.

There was a clear nervous murmur starting to permeate through the stands after New York built a 5-0 lead against Mike Cuellar, who was denied a fourth postseason victory with his first subpar outing of the postseason. Cuellar had gotten the call after Earl Weaver scratched Jim Palmer for the second straight start, this time wanting to keep the opposing lefty swinging batters on the bench.

With Tom Seaver on the mound holding the Orioles in check, it appeared that the Mets would send the series back to Shea Stadium for game six. Tommie Agee started the scoring with a solo homer in the third inning. Agee and Bud Harrelson had three hits each to set the table throughout the game. Harrelson would drive in Agee in the fifth as the duo reached on back-to-back doubles. Cleon Jones followed with a single to provide a three run cushion.

Agee and Harrelson would be in the middle of it again in the seventh frame. Seaver and Agee singled, with the runners hustling for the extra base. Harrelson lifted a fly ball deep enough to score Seaver, and Agee scored when Paul Blair's throw to third got away to push the lead to 5-0.

The hosts finally broke through the scoring column in the bottom of the frame with an unearned run. Blair doubled and scored when Harrelson throw to first on a grounder by Robinson sailed over the head of first baseman Donn Clendenon.

Seaver pitched one out deep into the ninth after walking the leadoff batter but striking out pinch hitter Terry Crowley. That would be the last out recorded in the series. Ron Herbel entered and proceeded to cough up the lead. Both runners scored on a double by Blair to cut the deficit in half. Robinson followed with the game tying blast. Tug McGraw entered only to see a 1-1 screwball leave the yard off the powerful bat of Powell.

With the hometown crowd on the edge of their seats, Baltimore Orioles came
from behind to top New York Mets, 6 to 5.
 
Baltimore won the game with a rally in the bottom of the 9th inning when they
tallied 5 runs on 4 hits.  The big moment was provided by Frank Robinson who
came through for the home fans when he cracked a two-run shot (his 1st of the
season).  Baltimore won despite being out-hit by New York 11 hits to 8.
 
The victory went to Jim Hardin(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs. Tug
McGraw(1-1) was charged with the loss in relief.  He was unable to retire a
batter allowing 1 hit and no walks.
 
Hardin and Paul Blair were really whooping it up in the clubhouse after the
great come from behind victory.  As Earl Weaver noted, 'A win like this one
can do wonders for a team's attitude.' Everyone shares in the joy - the fans,
the players - even you guys - it's better than winning by a dozen runs!'

Shamsky blast keeps Mets alive

Orioles fans had to put away their brooms as a late two run homer by Art Shamsky provided the winning margin as New York won their first ever World Series contest. Tug McGraw provided three innings of one-hit, scoreless relief to gain the victory. Baltimore leads the series, 3-1.

Just like game three, the guests scored in their half of the first. However, the pair of runs scored without benefit of a hit off Baltimore starter Tom Phoebus, who got the nod from manager Earl Weaver in order to give Jim Palmer an extra day's rest with the series clinch just one win away. Phoebus did not give up a hit, but lasted just five innings due to issuing seven walks.

Baltimore knotted the score with single runs in the first and third innings off lefty Jerry Koosman. Paul Blair walked and Merv Rettenmund doubled to set the stage for Frank Robinson, who drove in the first run on a grounder to second. Rettenmund, now htting .625 in the postseason, doubled again in the third to drive in the tying run.

The home team pushed across the go ahead run in the sixth inning with another two bagger, this time from Davey Johnson. With the stellar Baltimore bullpen rested, it looked as if the visitors had taken the final dagger.

Dick Hall was called on for the long relief stint and tossed two scoreless frames before being touched up by Shamsky in the eighth inning. The runs were unearned as Tommie Agee scored after reaching on a rare error by sure-handed shortstop Mark Belanger.

McGraw would finish things off, allowing just one baserunner the rest of the way. Hits were hard to come by, with the Orioles outhitting their opponent, 5-4.

Game 5 will pit Tom Seaver against Palmer.
