. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pinch-hitter Pat Bourque supplied the decisive single, driving in two runs in the eighth inning, to enable the Athletics to defeat the Angels, 7-5. Before Bourque's clutch hit, Angel Mangual stood out at bat for the A's, knocking in four runs with a double and homer. The Angels held a 3-2 lead until Mangual rapped his round-tripper with two men on base to put the A's ahead in the sixth.

Then in the eighth, Joe Rudi beat out a bunt, Gene Tenace walked and, with two out, Bourque batted for Ted Kubiak and singled to drive in Herb Washington, running for Rudi, and Tenace. An Angels' rally in their half fell short with two runs on singles by Dave Chalk and Bob Oliver and double by Bobby Valentine. [The Sporting News]
