. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Batting with the bases loaded in the 12th inning, Chris Speier doubled for his fourth hit of the game and cleared the sacks to give the Giants a 6-3 victory over the Braves. The Giants held a 2-0 lead until the Braves scored three times in the eighth on singles by Mike Lum and Frank Tepedino, wild throw by Jim Barr on a safe bunt by Craig Robinson and single by Marty Perez. Dave Kingman saved the Giants from defeat, hitting a pinch-homer in the ninth to tie the score.

In the 12th, Steve Ontiveros walked with one out and took third on a single by Gary Thomasson, who then stole second. After a pass to Ed Goodson loaded the bases, Gary Matthews forced Ontiveros at the plate, but Speier proved a tougher foe with his three-run double. [The Sporting News]
