Sunday September 5, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Tommy Harper drove in four runs with two homers to lead the Brewers to a 6-4 victory over the Angels. Ken McMullen hit an inside-the-park homer with two men on base for the Angels in the first inning, but the Brewers bounced back with a pair on a homer by Harper, double by Jose Cardenal and single by Darrell Porter.

After the Angels added a run in the second, the Brewers came back once more to take the lead when Rick Auerbach and Skip Lockwood walked and Harper smashed his second homer of the game. [The Sporting News]
