. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Hank Aaron, who hit his 2,000th single earlier in the game, came to bat in the 10th inning and smashed the 650th homer of his career to give the Braves a 6-5 victory over the Mets. Felix Millan homered for the Braves in the second, but the Mets slugged their way to a 5-2 lead with circuit clouts by Tom Seaver, Duffy Dyer and Ken Boswell.

However, in the eighth, Tommie Agee dropped a fly by Aaron, who scored on singles by Darrell Evans and Earl Williams. Dusty Baker then tripled to drive in the tying pair. [The Sporting News]
