Tuesday August 11, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Continuing his mastery of the Giants, Fergie Jenkins yielded only three hits and pitched the Cubs to a 4-1 victory to beat the Frisco crew for the seventh straight time since May 25, 1968. The Giants' run was unearned on two errors in the third inning. The Cubs knotted the count in their half when Don Kessinger singled, stole second and scored on a single by Glenn Beckert. Jim Hickman doubled and Randy Hundley singled for the tie-breaking tally in the sixth. Ron Santo then clinched the decision by hitting a homer after a double by Joe Pepitone in the eighth.
