Tuesday October 3, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Five innings of scoreless relief pitching by Steve Stone, who allowed only three singles, featured the Giants' 7-4 victory over the Padres. Enzo Hernandez hit a triple and homer as the Padres took a 3-0 lead at the expense of Jim Willoughby.

The Giants pulled even in the third, fell behind again in the fourth and then took command with a three-run burst in their half. Singles by Gary Thomasson and Chris Arnold and a double by Bobby Bonds produced the tying tally. Tito Fuentes hit a sacrifice fly to send the Giants ahead and another run followed on a balk by Mike Corkins. [The Sporting News]
