. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Posting his third consecutive shutout, Gaylord Perry pitched the Giants to an 8-0 victory over the Braves. Perry batted in the only run that he needed with a single in the second inning and then scored himself when Bobby Bonds hit a homer. Al Gallagher added a round-tripper in the fourth before the Giants iced the decision with their final four tallies in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
