. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A homer by Ed Spiezio in seventh inning, after Ivan Murrell was safe on an error, enabled the Padres to edge the Pirates, 2-1. Fred Cambria, making his first major league start, was the victim of Spiezio's blow. Roberto Clemente had three hits for the Pirates and drove in their run with a single in the sixth. However, after the Pirates loaded the bases with two out in the ninth, Tom Dukes replaced Pat Dobson and struck out Clemente to end the game. [The Sporting News]
