. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Deron Johnson and Bill North drove in two runs apiece to enable the Athletics to defeat the Twins, 4-2. Reggie Jackson doubled and Johnson singled for the A's initial run in the second inning and, later in the same stanza, North drew a pass with the bases loaded to force in a second run. Johnson homered in the sixth before a single by Ray Fosse, a stolen base and double by North added the A's final tally in the seventh. Eric Soderholm homered for the Twins. [The Sporting News]
