. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Eight homers dominated the scoring as the Red Sox won the first game of a doubleheader, 5-3, and the Yankees came back to take the second game, 8-2. In the lidlifter, the Red Sox scored four of their runs in the third inning. After singles by Ken Brett, Mike Andrews and Reggie Smith produced the first tally, Carl Yastrzemski accounted for three others with a round-tripper. George Scott added a homer in the ninth. The Yankees' runs came on circuit clouts by Bobby Murcer, Thurman Munson and Ron Woods.

Jake Gibbs sent the Yankees on their way to victory in the nightcap by hitting a homer following single by Roy White and a pass to Curt Blefary in the second inning. The Yanks added three runs in the fourth, two counting on a double by Jerry Kenney, and closed out their scoring with a two-run smash by White in the seventh after Tom Satriano had saved the Red Sox from being shutout with a boundary belt in the top half of the frame.
