April 8, 1972. Baltimore 8, New York Yankees 5 (11)

 For at least the next week, this will be referred to in the Harbor City as The Bobby Grich Game.  The young 2B was the story from beginning to end as the Orioles won their first of the year, 8-5 over the Yankees in 11 innings.

In the first, Grich greeted Yankee starter Steve Kline with a 2-run homer.  He must have decided that wasn't good enough so he slammed a 3-run homer the next time he saw him in the 3rd for a 5-0 Baltimore lead.  

The Yankees stormed back to knock out Oriole starter Mike Cuellar in the 6th to tie the game at 5. Who else but Bobby Murcer had the big shot in that inning with a bases loaded triple.  

The bullpens worked in and out of trouble through the 10th.  The Orioles loaded the bases in the top of the 11th with 2 out and were glad to see Grich come to the plate again.  Grich drove a Sparky Lyle screwball to the cavernous left-center field gap in Yankee Stadium for his own bases loaded triple.  Grant Jackson worked around a Johnny Callison double to preserve the win.  

All Hail King Grich!!

Extra-Inning Win by Orioles Over Yankees Orioles shortstop Bobby Grich put his stamp on his team's 8-5 win over the New York Yankees. Grich went 3-6 with 2 home runs and a triple, while adding 8 RBI and scoring twice for Baltimore in the contest. Grant Jackson locked down his 1st save. The loss makes New York 2-1. Grich had a game-changing triple in the top of the 11th. On a full count fastball from Sparky Lyle, he banged a bases-clearing triple to left-center, giving the Orioles a 8-5 lead. It was the 1st triple of the year for Grich. In postgame comments to the Baltimore Citizen, Grich said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
