Black Jack retires the side in the 9th on 3 pitches. The outfield makes 8 of the 27 putouts. McGwire's first shot, off Orel Hershiser , is the first ever off the Jacobs Field scoreboard and dents the Budweiser sign. It travels an estimated 485 feet. His 2nd, in the 10th, is the tie-breaker.
Belle finishes the game with an obscene gesture to the crowd.
Randy Johnson and Kenny Lofton are both ejected after the 2 argue about inside pitches. On a pop up to short the infield fly rule is not called. With runners at first and second and no outs, O's SS Melvin Mora lets Sandy Alomar 's pop fly drop, apparently intentionally, and throws to 2B Jerry Hairston who tags the runner at second as well as the runner coming from first. Charlie Manuel doesn't agree and gets tossed. The Indians play the 2nd 3-team doubleheader since 1900 at Jacobs Field in Cleveland.
