. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Willie Mays became the greatest run-scorer in N. L. history, passing Stan Musial, as the Giants beat the Expos in a doubleheader, 5-4 and 8-7. Mays won the first game by smashing a homer with a man on base in the seventh inning to climax a three-run rally. When Willie crossed the plate, the run was the 1,950th of his career, putting him third on the all-time list behind A. L. greats Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. Musial scored 1,949 runs.

The Giants won the second game with another three-run rally, this time in the ninth inning. A walk, single by Bobby Bonds and pass to Russ Gibson loaded the bases. One run scored on a wild pitch by Mike Marshall. After Al Gallagher walked to reload the sacks, Tito Fuentes singled to drive in the tying and winning runs. [The Sporting News]
