When was the last time the Orioles won a Pennant Race Game on Out at Plate

[Filmstudy]

I looked up the Shelby to Dempsey DP to tag out Bob Skube (9/26/82) vs. Brewers, but that actually ended 8th inning and O's scored 2 insurance runs in 9th.

Can anyone recall another?

Been watching for the last 25years and never seen it done. This was an epic moment for the franchise one I will never forget.

Exhiliratingly teamly (new word) effort. Britton, Trumbo et al picked up by Bourn, Kim, El Toro, and Reimold.

The closest things I could find was on 9/26/82 at County Stadium in Milwaukee, T-Bone Shelby caught a Cecil Cooper flyball and nailed the would be tying run at the plate for a double play to end the bottom of the 8th and preserve a 3-2 lead.

From Meleski:

Kim on the last out: ?Buck made an excellent choice of a defensive replacement,? he said laughing, as he was the one replaced. ?Could I get him out, maybe not? Buck made an excellent choice.?

Yes, this was Bob Skube being tossed at the plate.

The other game I thought of that was similar to the Skube game was the 5/6/12 game where Marlon Byrd was tossed at the plate on Aviles' double in the 16th inning of the game won by Chris Davis in the 17th. That was too early in the season to be "in the pennant race" however.

Though it was too early in the season to count as a pennant race game, the O's ended their June 3, 1977 game in Kansas City with a bizarre triple play. The Royals loaded the bases with none out. John Wathan hit a fly ball to Pat Kelly in RF. Kelly threw to Belanger, who got the runner on first into a rundown between first and second and tagged him out. After tagging out that runner, Belanger turned and noticed the runner on third had wandered down the third base line a bit. He ran directly at him, tagged him for the third out, and the O's won 7-6.

I remembered this game because a family friend was working on it. After the game, he walked up to Tippy Martinez in the clubhouse and said, "Nice pitch, Tippy." You can read about the play here.

That game was also memorable because it was the game in which Brooks Robinson got his last hit. He retired that summer to make room for Rick Dempsey, who was coming off the DL.

The O's finished that season with 97 wins, tied with the Red Sox for second place behind the Yankees, who won 100.

Love Kim. Almost wish I hadn't used up my name change on godly Flash.
