. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A grand-slam homer by pinch-hitter Carl Taylor climaxed a five-run rally in the ninth inning as the Cardinals came from behind to outslug the Padres, 11-10. Joe Hague started the stanza with a single and was forced by Dick Allen. Singles by Joe Torre and Jose Cardenal scored Allen, but Mike Shannon forced Cardenal. Ed Crosby then walked to load the bases before Taylor delivered his dramatic homer. [The Sporting News]
