. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bobby Bonds, who hit one of the Giants' three homers in a seven-run rally that tied the score in the eighth inning, singled in the 10th and scored Jim Ray Hart to beat the Pirates, 10-9. Two-run homers by Jose Pagan and Bob Robertson helped the Pirates take a 9-2 lead before the Giants erupted in the eighth.

Tito Fuentes singled and scored on a homer by Willie Mays. A double by Dick Dietz and circuit clout by Hart added another pair. Ron Hunt then doubled, Willie McCovey was safe on an error and Bonds homered to tie the score. In the 10th, Hart singled and took second on a sacrifice. After an intentional pass to Hunt, Bob Heise popped up, but Bonds came to the plate and hit his winning single. [The Sporting News]
