Wednesday August 4, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Cubs, who completed the suspended game of May 16 with a 6-4 victory, also defeated the Padres in the regular-scheduled contest, 3-0. The action in May in the nightcap of a doubleheader was stopped by darkness after six innings with the Cubs leading, 6-3. Phil Regan took the mound for the resumption of play and limited the Padres to one run in the seventh on singles by Don Mason, Enzo Hernandez and Dave Campbell.

Milt Pappas pitched a shutout for the Cubs in regularly scheduled game and beat the Padres for the fifth straight time in his career. [The Sporting News]
