. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Giants erupted for five runs in the eighth inning to win the first game of a doubleheader, 6-2, and then completed the sweep when Steve Stone pitched a three-hitter to beat the Padres, 2-0, in the second game.

In the opener, the Giants erased the Padres' 2-1 lead with two runs in the eighth on a single by Willie Mays, walk to Ken Henderson and singles by Dick Dietz and Al Gallagher. Willie McCovey then batted for Don McMahon and iced the game with a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
