. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pat Jarvis, who pitched a three-hitter, singled in the ninth inning and scored on a single by Felix Millan and error by Cito Gaston to give the Braves a 1-0 victory in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the Padres. The first game was a slugfest, with the Braves winning, 8-7, on a homer by Darrell Evans in the 11th inning. Hank Aaron smashed two homers and drove in three runs for the Braves, while the Padres had round-trippers by Ollie Brown and Bob Barton, each with a man on base.

In the nightcap, Jarvis singled in the ninth for the Braves' third hit off Fred Norman. Millan followed with a single to center and when Gaston bobbled the ball, Jarvis steamed home with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
