. . . where the 1970s live forever!
With two out in the ninth inning, the Cardinals rallied for two runs to defeat the Padres, 4-2. Ted Sizemore walked with one away and reached second on a wild pitch. After Bob Burda flied out, Leron Lee hit a pinch-double to drive in tie-breaking tally and Matty Alou followed with a single for an insurance run. [The Sporting News]
