Tuesday July 11, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
After falling behind in the second inning, 4-0, the Brewers rallied for three runs in the seventh and then defeated the Twins, 5-4, when Joe Lahoud homered with a man on base in the ninth. Eric Soderholm accounted for three of the Twins' runs with a circuit clout. Lahoud, who drew a walk and scored as a pinch-hitter in the seventh, remained in the lineup and belted his homer in the ninth after Ron Clark had led off with a single. [The Sporting News]
