. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After a pinch-double by Ty Cline in the eighth inning saved the Reds from defeat, Lee May smashed a two-run homer in the 11th to beat the Expos. 4-3. Boots Day singled and Rusty Staub smashed a homer for the Expos' first two runs in the sixth. The Reds were held to only one hit by Carl Morton until the eighth when Bernie Carbo walked, Jimmy Stewart singled and Cline tied the score with his double. May's homer in the 11th followed a single by Johnny Bench. The Expos rallied in their half and picked up one run before Wayne Granger came in to record his 30th save of the season.
