Saturday August 22, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A single by Jerry May off Bill Sudakis' glove scored Roberto Clemente in the 16th inning and enabled the Pirates to nip the Dodgers, 2-1, in a four-hour, 21-minute game. The Dodgers, who wasted numerous scoring opportunities, stranding 16 men, counted their run in the second inning on a grounder by Billy Grabarkewitz with the bases loaded.

Bill Mazeroskl singled for the Pirates in the third, Bob Moose bunted safely and Clemente singled to tie the score. Both clubs then piled up ciphers until the 16th when Clemente singled for his fifth hit, stole second after two out and scored on May's hit. [The Sporting News]
