M's take 2 of 3 from O's

game 1

Baltimore 3 Seattle 0 ..... Orioles first run came when Luis Aparicio doubled advancing to third on error by Sierra and scoring on error by Cirillo. The next run came when Jerry Adair got new life when his foul ball was dropped and he then took advantage to single in a run. Sam Bowens closed the scoring with solo homer in 8th.  In 9th inning, after Olerud walked to start the inning, 3 times I tried to bring in Stu Miller and 3 times I got a run time 5 error "invalid procedure call or argument" .... sensing that the game was trying to tell me not  to substitute, I did not and Bunker retired next 3 batters for the shutout. Ichiro twice singled and twice was thrown out stealing.

game 2

Seattle 4 Baltimore 3 .... Ichiro's infield single in 2nd inning plated the first run of the game. Orioles came right back with 2 as Siebern doubled with bases loaded.  Seattle went ahead in 4th when Olerud had bases loaded single with 2 outs driving in 2. Orioles tied the game in 6th when Brooks Robinson hit solo homer. In he 7th, Edgar Martinez hit solo homer. Trying to bring in Harvey Haddix, I encountered the run time error 5 again. This time I persevered until Haddix was allowed to enter the game. In the 9th Sasaki came on and filled the bases with 1 out on single, single and walk. But Brooks Robinson popped to short and Bowens hit line drive to 3rd. Sasaki earned the save.

game 3

Seattle 4 Baltimore 3 ..... Orioles scored first on Brandt triple and Aparicio single.  A runtime error 75 "path/file access error" followed a failed pickoff attempt.

In the 2nd inning Sierra hit solo homer to tie the game. In the 7th Seattle loaded the bases with 1 out and Desi Relaford bounced to 2nd, and Sierra scored. Ichiro followed with 2 run single. Orioles got 2 back with Adair single and D Brown homerun. In the 9th Sasaki came on to strike out the side for the save.
