. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although a winner of only seven games, Fred Norman turned in his fifth shutout of the season as the Padres came back after a no-hitter at the hands of Milt Pappas in the previous day's game to defeat the Cubs, 3-0. The Padres nicked Burt Hooton for their first run in the second inning on a single by Cito Gaston, double by Derrel Thomas and single by Fred Kendall.

Two other tallies counted in the eighth. Dave Roberts singled and took third on a single by Nate Colbert, who advanced to second on the throw. Gaston then drove in both runners with a single. [The Sporting News]
