. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The slugging of Rusty Staub, who smashed two homers in each game, paced the Expos to 11-6 and 6-5 victories over the Dodgers in a twi-night doubleheader. Staub batted in four runs with his circuit clouts in the first game. Ron Fairly drove in two runs with a homer and Marv Staehle accounted for two with a single and double. The victory was the Expos' first over the Dodgers in Montreal since the expansion club's organization in 1969.

In the nightcap, Bob Bailey hit a homer with a man on base for the Expos in the first inning. Staub resumed his slugging with a circuit clout in the sixth and then connected again in the seventh to drive in the winning run. Willie Davis rapped a two-run homer for the Dodgers. [The Sporting News]
