. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A four-run outburst in the 12th inning brought the Brewers a 9-5 victory over the White Sox. Singles by Mike Hegan and Jerry McNertney and a pass to Ted Kubiak filled the bases for the Brewers. Don Eddy, replacing Danny Murphy, walked Gus Gil to force in the tie-breaking tally. Tommy Harper then singled to drive in two runs and Smith added the last marker with another single.
