Friday August 6, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Two sacrifice flies by Johnny Briggs accounted for the Brewers' scoring in a 2-1 victory over the Royals. Ron Theobald tripled and counted on Briggs' first fly in the fourth inning. The Royals tied the score in their half of the fourth and missed a chance to go ahead.

Joe Keough singled and stopped at third on a double by Amos Otis, who overran second and was tagged out. Gail Hopkins drove in Keough with a single. In the ninth, Tommy Harper doubled for the Brewers, Theobald sacrificed and Briggs hit his second fly. [The Sporting News]
