The Baltimore Orioles edged the Minnesota Twins in 12 innings at Metropolitan
Stadium by the score of 5 to 4.

The score was knotted at 4 after nine innings. Baltimore was victorious in
the 12th inning. Terry Crowley cracked a solo homerun (his 1st of the
season). This was a game of many highs and lows for the home town fans, as
the lead kept changing - 5 times in all.

The winning pitcher was Marcelino Lopez(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1 inning.
Lopez got help from Eddie Watt who earned his 2nd save. The loss was charged
to Stan Williams(0-1) in relief.
