. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Brewers smashed three homers among their 12 hits and also took advantage of five errors to score six unearned runs in rolling over the Indians, 14-2. Roberto Pena, Tommy Harper and Danny Walton hit Brewers' homers. Harper's smash, with two men on base in the fifth inning, was his 25th of season and tied the Seattle-Milwaukee club record set by Don Mincher in 1969. Vada Pinson and Duke Sims homered for the Indians' runs off Lew Krausse. [The Sporting News]
