. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A homer by Mike Hegan with two men on base climaxed a scoring outburst by the Yankees, who piled up all their runs in the sixth inning to defeat the Red Sox, 6-1. A single by Bobby Murcer, double by Ron Blomberg and sacrifice fly by Graig Nettles produced the first tally. After doubles by Duke Sims and Gene Michael delivered two more runs, knocking out Rick Wise, Jim Mason walked and Hegan hit his homer off Diego Segui. Doc Medich had a shutout in his grasp until Bernie Carbo homered for the Red Sox with two out in the ninth inning. [The Sporting News]
