. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Cardinals, who enjoyed a pair of five-run innings, outscored the Padres, 14-8. Joe Torre homered with a man on base to cap the Cards' first five-run outburst in the sixth. After the Padres came back with five runs of their own in the seventh, the Redbirds clinched the decision with five in the eighth, two scoring on a double by Vic Davalillo, who delivered his 21st pinch hit of the season, one shy of the N. L. record shared by Sam Leslie of the 1932 New York Giants and Red Schoendienst, now manager of the Cardinals, who did it with the St. Louis club in 1962. [The Sporting News]
