. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Led by Joe Torre, who batted in three runs, the Cardinals posted a 6-3 victory to complete the sweep of the three-game series with the Dodgers. Torre drove in a run with an infield out in the first inning and homered with a man on base in the third. The Cards added two runs in the fourth on a single by Mike Tyson, forceout by John Curtis on a bunt attempt, double by Lou Brock, single by Ted Sizemore and infield out by Bake McBride. Curtis singled and Brock tripled for the final Cardinal tally in the sixth. Steve Garvey drove in two runs for the Dodgers and Jim Wynn one to finish the game in a tie for the N. L. RBI lead with 53 each. [The Sporting News]
