. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Ron Fairly, who had walked on four of five previous trips to the plate, came to bat for the sixth time with two out in the 11th inning and smashed a homer to give the Expos a 7-6 victory over the Braves. Bob Bailey and Ken Singleton homered for the Expos and Ralph Garr for the Braves. Singleton's blow after passes to Boots Day and Fairly in the sixth put the Expos ahead, 6-4, but the Braves picked up unearned runs in the seventh and eighth to tie the score and forced the game into overtime.
