. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After succumbing to the no-hit pitching of Dock Ellis in the first game, 2-0, the Padres came back to beat the Pirates in second half of a twi-night doubleheader, 5-2. Danny Coombs, who pitched the nightcap for the Padres, turned in only the second complete game of his major league career. Nate Colbert hit two triples for the Padres and Al Ferrera smashed a homer.
