. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Manager Eddie Kasko juggled the batting order of the Red Sox, who responded by leaving only two men on base while defeating the Brewers, 5-3. The Red Sox scored four of their runs in the fourth inning after Rick Miller and Carl Yastrzemski singled and Orlando Cepeda was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Rico Petrocelli singled, driving in two tallies. Tommy Harper walked to fill the sacks again. Luis Aparicio forced Harper, Cepeda scoring, and when Tim Johnson lost the ball trying to turn a double play, Petrocelli also crossed the plate. [The Sporting News]
