. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jimmy Rosario hit a fly ball with the bases loaded and one out in the 10th inning, scoring Al Gallagher, to bring the Giants a 6-5 victory over the Mets. Rosario was given credit for a sacrifice fly and run batted in, even though Don Hahn dropped the ball in center field. In the scorer's judgment, Gallagher would have scored even if Hahn had made the catch.

Dick Dietz, appearing as a pinch-hitter, saved the Giants from defeat, smashing a homer to tie the score in the ninth. Dave Kingman and Gallagher singled in the 10th and Chris Speier walked to load the bases. Willie McCovey forced Kingman at the plate before Rosario came up with his winning fly. [The Sporting News]
