Sunday August 16, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Playing before 44,387, Milwaukee's largest crowd of the season, the Brewers rallied for three runs in the eighth inning on a bases-loaded double by Danny Walton and scored again in the ninth to beat the Indians, 4-3. In the eighth, singles by Ted Kubiak and Tommy Harper and a pass to Mike Hegan loaded the bases. Dave May forced Kubiak at the plate before Walton came through with his double. Roberto Pena and Jerry McNertney walked in the ninth. Kubiak sacrificed and Gus Gil singled to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
