. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After eight shutout innings, Jim Barr worked out of a jam in the ninth and pitched the Giants to a 3-1 victory over the Cubs. The Giants started the scoring with a run in the first on a single by Garry Maddox and double by Willie McCovey. Dave Kingman homered in the fourth and the Giants' other run counted on a sacrifice fly by Dave Rader with the bases loaded in the sixth.

The Cubs staged their threat in the ninth with one out when Jose Cardenal singled, Jim Hickman walked and Adrain Garrett singled to drive in Cardenal, but Barr retired Carmen Fanzone on a fly and struck out Don Kessinger to end the game. [The Sporting News]
