. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Joe Pepitone poked four straight hits, giving him seven in succession over two games, as the Cubs defeated the Cardinals, 7-1. Ron Santo drove in four runs -- one with an infield out in the fourth inning and three with a homer in the sixth.

Glenn Beckert opened the sixth with his first circuit clout of the season and Billy Williams and Pepitone followed with singles before Santo smashed his round-tripper. [The Sporting News]
