. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Hank Aaron hit his ninth homer of the season and 722nd of his career in the 10th inning to bring the Braves a 2-1 victory over the Phillies. The blow beat Jim Lonborg, who allowed only four hits, but they also included a homer by Davey Johnson that tied the score in the eighth. Buzz Capra pitched the first nine innings for the Braves and gave up three hits. Danny Frisella, who finished and gained the victory, yielded one hit. The Phillies' run counted in the second on a walk to Greg Luzinski, single by Willie Montanez, infield out by Mike Schmidt and sacrifice fly by Mike Anderson. [The Sporting News]
