. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rick Reichardt and Ed Stroud, who were traded away by the Senators during the winter, came back to help beat their old club by rapping two hits apiece as the White Sox gained an 8-1 victory. Reichardt's hits included a homer. The Senators' run off Bart Johnson scored in the third inning when Jerry Janeski singled and Del Unser doubled. Janeski's hit was the first for the Senators' pitching staff in 42 at-bats this season. [The Sporting News]
