| October 11, 1969 In game 1 of the 1969 World Series the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Mets 8-6 in a very exciting ballgame. Both clubs had their aces on the mound for what was expected to be a close, low scoring matchup. That didn't happen. The Mets got 3 runs off Cuellar in the 4th, keyed by Ron Swoboda's 2 run homer and 3 more runs in the 6th. But Baltimore struck back in the bottom of the 6th with 4 runs off Koosman. Frank Robinson's 2 run blast was the big hit for the O's. Koosman was lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the 7th and Nolan Ryan replaced him to hold the lead in the bottom of the 7th. Baltimore had other ideas though. They chased Ryan after  only 1 out and the bases loaded. Before the inning was over, the Orioles had scored 3 runs and taken a 7-6 lead. Davey Johnson's (pictured) single was the cluth hit that drove in 2 runs. Baltimore added an insurance run in the 8th and Eddie Watt came on in relief in the 9th to get the save.So the Orioles go 1 up in the series and will be sending Dave McNally to the hill to start tomorrows game. Tom Seaver will start for New York. |

WEB GEMS- Top 3rd: Dave Johnson robbed Al Weis of a base hit.
Frank Robinson cracked a homer and had 2 RBI as the Baltimore Orioles topped
the New York Mets by a score of 8 to 6 at Memorial Stadium.
New York never recovered after Baltimore took the lead in the 7th inning as
they scored 3 runs on 3 base hits. The big moment was provided by Dave
Johnson who brought a roar from the partisan Memorial Stadium fans when he
laced a one-base hit bringing in two baserunners. Both teams ended up with
10 hits on the afternoon.
Mike Cuellar(1-0) allowed 6 runs in 7 innings, and picked up the victory.
Eddie Watt gained credit for his 1st save. Nolan Ryan(0-1) took the loss in
relief. He gave up 3 runs and 2 hits in 1/3 of an inning.
