Sunday July 18, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A homer by Ken McMullen with a man on base in the ninth inning broke up a pitchers' duel and gave the Angels a 3-1 victory over the Indians. Rudy May, who was the winner, allowed only four hits. Alan Foster held the Angels to three hits until the ninth when Tony Gonzalez singled with one away and McMullen smashed his homer after two were out. [The Sporting News]
