. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Completing the previous night's suspended contest, the Expos played the last three innings and posted an 11-2 victory, but the Cubs came back behind Fergie Jenkins to win the regularly-scheduled game, 5-2. Jenkins, in gaining his 21st victory, not only pitched a six-hitter, but smashed two homers to drive in three runs. [The Sporting News]
