. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Staked to a five-run lead in the first inning, Ed Sprague pitched the Brewers to a 7-1 victory over the Red Sox. Don Money, Dave May and George Scott hit consecutive singles, loading the bases, to start the Brewers' attack on Bill Lee. Johnny Briggs doubled, driving in Money and May. Bob Coluccio singled, scoring Scott, and when Carl Yastrzemski made a poor throw from the outfield, Briggs also crossed the plate. Robin Yount added the fifth run with a single. Deron Johnson, playing in his first game since being acquired from the Athletics, homered with a man on base in the seventh to produce the Brewers' final tallies. [The Sporting News]
