. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Two walks with the bases loaded in the sixth inning, when the Giants scored four runs, helped provide a 7-4 victory over the Mets. Wayne Garrett homered as the Mets built up a 4-2 lead behind Rich Folkers, who made his first major league start.

Dick Dietz, who homered for the Giants in the fourth, led off the sixth with a double and Al Gallagher walked. Hal Lanier singled to drive in Dietz and Bob Heise hit a pinch-double, plating Gallagher to tie the score. Danny Frisella, relieving, passed Bobby Bonds intentionally to load the bases and then forced in two runs by walking Frank Johnson and Jim Ray Hunt. [The Sporting News]
