. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Mets, who had been shut out in the first two games of the series, broke loose behind the pitching of Tom Seaver and defeated the Padres, 9-2. The victory was the fifth in a row for Seaver, who was staked to a quick lead in the first inning when John Milner drove in two runs with a single to end the Mets' scoring drouth.
