. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Scoring six unearned runs in the ninth inning, the Brewers ended a seven-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the Red Sox came back behind the pitching of Gary Peters to win the nightcap, 3-0.

Rico Petrocelli homered with two men on base for the Red Sox in the first inning of the lidlifter. The Brewers sent 11 men to bat in the ninth and counted their six runs on four hits, one walk, three errors and a wild pitch. Peters pitched a four-hitter in the second game and had the support of homers by George Scott and Mike Andrews. [The Sporting News]
