. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pinch-hitter Andy Kosco homered with two men on base to climax a five-run rally in the seventh inning as the Brewers defeated the Athletics for the first time this season, 7-4, in the second game of a doubleheader. The A's had made it eight straight over the Brewers by winning the first game, 11-4, with an attack that included round-trippers by Mike Epstein, Reggie Jackson, Dave Duncan and Sal Bando.

Jackson homered again in the nightcap to help the A's take a 4-0 lead, but an error, a walk and singles by Tommy Harper and Gus Gil produced two runs for the Brewers in the seventh before Kosco delivered his homer, the first by any Milwaukee pinch-hitter this year. [The Sporting News]
