. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Fergie Jenkins batted in two runs with a single to help himself to victory as the Cubs rallied for five runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Padres, 8-4. Clay Kirby, who was leading Jenkins, 3-2, was lifted in the eighth after walking Billy Williams. Paul Doyle faced only one batter, Joe Pepitone, who singled. As it turned out, that was enough to pin the defeat on Doyle in his first decision with the Padres since being obtained from the Angels.

After Tom Dukes relieved, Jim Hickman singled to load the bases and Ron Santo walked to force in the tying run. Johnny Callison followed with a sacrifice fly, scoring Pepitone with the go-ahead marker. Following an intentional pass to J.C. Martin, Jenkins hit his single. A wild pitch by Ron Willis allowed Martin to cross the plate. [The Sporting News]
