. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run single by Fred Kendall in the fourth inning and two-run homer by Dave Winfield in the eighth carried the Padres to a 4-3 victory over the Cubs. After Kendall's hit in the fourth, the Cubs came back with the tying pair in their half on doubles by Jose Cardenal and Billy Williams, a long fly by Andre Thornton that enabled Williams to take third after the catch and sacrifice fly by Jerry Morales. The Cubs then took the lead in the seventh with successive singles by Steve Swisher, Oscar Zamora and Don Kessinger, but Willie McCovey walked in the eighth and Winfield hit his homer to decide the game in the Padres' favor.
