. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Brewers rallied for five runs in the last two innings to upset the Tigers, 7-6. Mike Hegan homered with a man on base for the Brewers in the second, but the Tigers were ahead, 6-2, before the Brewers began their comeback with three runs in the eighth on singles by Tommy Harper and Russ Snyder, a double by Steve Hovley and a single by Danny Walton. Hegan doubled in the ninth and Hank Allen walked with one out. Ted Savage then doubled, Hegan scoring from third base and Allen racing home from first with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
