Sunday July 4, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Sending 13 men to bat, the Dodgers exploded for 10 runs in the eighth inning and trounced the Giants, 14.4. Juan Marichal, who started for the Giants, was removed for a pinch-hitter in the seventh when the Frisco crew went ahead, 4-3, on a three-run double by Chris Speier.

Wes Parker walked to start the Dodgers' eighth and scored the tying run off Jerry Johnson on singles by Duke Sims and Bill Buckner. After Steve Hamilton relieved, Bobby Valentine broke the tie with a two-run single. The Dodgers then continued to pile up the score with the aid of a two-run double by pinch-hitter Manny Mota and homers by Dick Allen and Jim Lefebvre. Don Carrithers, who was the Giants' third pitcher of the inning, gave up Lefebvre's blow with a man on base before finally retiring the side. [The Sporting News]
