Steve Finley

Steve Finley and Joe Orsulak (3)did the damage at the top of the lineup, as each hitter banged out 4 hits in a 9-4 Baltimore win in Chitown. Orsulak provided the muscle with a triple, home run, 4 RBI, and 3 runs scored. Finley collected 4 singles, but scored all 4 times and drove in 3. Dave Schmidt (1-1) went 6 innings on the mound for the win. Bob Keegan (0-1) was shelled in his first start of the year for the Sox.

Game #2
Bob Kennedy (3 hits, 3 RBI) singled in Nellie Fox and Minnie Minoso in the B9 for a 5-4 White Sox walk-off winner. The Sox lit up normally "lights-out" closer Greg Olsen (0-2). Dixie Howell (2-1) was the beneficiary with the vultured win on the other side. The loss also spoiled a 2-2B, 1 HR performance by the O's Phil Bradley (3).

Game #3
Jay Tibbs (1-1) scattered 9 hits over 7 IP, but only surrendered 1 run in an 8-1 series finale victory for the O's. Finley (2) was again a big contributor offensively with 3 hits, including a round-tripper. Mickey Tettleton (3) smashed a 2-run home run in a 5-run 1st for the Birds that set the tone. Dick Donovan (1-2) took the loss for the ChiSox.
