. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Yankees were held to four hits but took advantage of walks issued by Skip Lockwood and a wild pitch to defeat the Brewers, 4-2. Two passes, a bunt, a sacrifice fly by Horace Clarke and a single by Jerry Kenney plated two tallies in the fifth inning to tie the score at 2-2.

Roy White drew a walk in the sixth, stole second and stopped at third on an infield hit by Curt Blefary. After Thurman Munson walked to load the bases, White scored the deciding run on a wild pitch. Gene Michael followed with a sacrifice fly to add an insurance run. [The Sporting News]
