. . . where the 1970s live forever!

With one out to go, Stan Bahnsen was deprived of a no-hitter when Walt Williams singled for the Indians' only hit in a 4-0 loss to the White Sox. Bahnsen, who walked Dave Duncan twice and otherwise kept the Indians off base, retired John Lowenstein and Buddy Bell in the ninth inning before Williams spoiled his no-hit bid. Jorge Orta had four hits for the White Sox, including a homer. [The Sporting News]
