Saturday July 4, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Two errors on one play by Dave Campbell in the sixth inning enabled Orlando Cepeda to score the run that gave the Braves a 2-1 victory over the Padres. Singles by Gil Garrido, Felix Millan and Rico Carty produced the initial run for the Braves in the first inning. Cito Gaston tied the score with a homer in the third. Cepeda doubled in the sixth. Mike Lum then grounded to Campbell, who fumbled the ball, allowing Lum to reach first, and then made a wild throw to permit Cepeda to score. [The Sporting News]
