. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Billy Conigliaro hit a three-run homer in the first inning and then doubled and scored the winning run in the eighth as the Red Sox defeated the Brewers, 5-4. After Conigliaro's clout, the Brewers went ahead, 4-3, but the Red Sox tied the count in the seventh on a single by Doug Griffin and double by Joe Lahoud. Following his double in the eighth, Conigliaro advanced to third on a grounder and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Duane Josephson. [The Sporting News]
