. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Dick Dietz, who drove in three runs with a homer and single, turned around and bunted safely in the 14th inning to enable the Giants to defeat the Padres, 6-5. Ken Henderson walked ahead of the slugging catcher's bunt. Tito Fuentes then sacrificed and when Nate Colbert fumbled a grounder by Bob Burda, Henderson crossed the plate with the winning run. The Giants appeared to have won the game in the 10th when they scored three runs, but a homer by Ollie Brown sparked the tying rally by the Padres. [The Sporting News]
