. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Greg Luzinski smashed two homers to spark the Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the Giants. Luzinski's drives provided the Phillies with a 2-1 lead before they added a run in the fifth inning on two errors by Chris Speier and a single by Cesar Tovar. Singles by Willie Montanez, Del Unser and Bill Robinson then produced what proved to be the deciding run in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
