. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After building up a 6-0 lead, the Padres had no trouble defeating the Dodgers, 10-4. Dave Roberts, who was the winning pitcher, doubled to drive in two of the Padres' four runs in the second inning. Nate Colbert homered with a man on base in the third. The Dodgers counted three times in the fourth, two runs scoring on a homer by Bill Sudakis, but the Padres continued their attack with a circuit clout by Al Ferrara in the fifth.
