. . . where the 1970s live forever!
An error by Denis Menke opened the door for the Cubs, who scored four unearned runs off Gary Nolan in the fourth inning to defeat the Reds, 4-2. After Menke failed to hang on to a line drive by Billy Williams, Jim Hickman and Rick Monday singled for one run and Carmen Fanzone doubled for two more. Following an intentional pass to Randy Hundley, Milt Pappas singled to drive in the fourth run of the frame. [The Sporting News]
