. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After being held to two hits in the first six innings, the Angels scored two runs off Vida Blue after two were out in the seventh and defeated the Athletics, 3-1. Bob Oliver singled with one away and, after Ken McMullen was retired, Leroy Stanton, Leo Cardenas and Jeff Torborg rapped three successive singles to put the Angels ahead, 2-1.

Their other run counted off Rollie Fingers on a walk, single by Vada Pinson and sacrifice fly by Oliver in the eighth. The A's, who were limited to five hits by Clyde Wright, scored their run on a homer by Jackson in the third. [The Sporting News]
