Sunday July 19, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Although the Brewers set up a five-man defense in the infield, Lee Maye smashed a grounder past second base with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to give the Senators a 4-3 victory. A walk to Paul Casanova, an error on a bunt by Tim Cullen and an intentional pass to Del Unser with one out preceded Maye's winning hit.

Casanova homered with a man on base for the Senators in the second inning, but the Brewers came back to tie the score and went ahead on a homer by Ted Savage in the eighth. The Nats pulled even in their half with two walks and a single by Aurelio Rodriguez. [The Sporting News]
