Nothing new when these 2 teams meet! Good game on both sides with Dennis Doble on the hill relieved by R. Stephensen(8k) who pitched very well handling a very good O's offense in a 2 - 1 contest thru 5 innings. John DeCosta pitched well for the O's although the Sox offense timing with a few key hits in the 5th tack on and come out on top. Good game on both sides!
