The Bronx Bombers had built a 15-4 lead heading into the final inning. However, the Orioles offense finally erupted as they rallied with ten hits in bottom of the fourth and scored ten runs to make it a one run game.
With the tying run on third and two outs, it took a magnificient defensive play (6-3) by the Yankees to finally snuff out the Orioles rally.
