. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Expos set a Montreal club record for most homers in one game, smashing five among their 16 hits, in an 11-3 trouncing of the Reds. Bob Bailey belted two of the Expos' homers and Ken Singleton, Ron Woods and Mike Jorgensen rapped one apiece. Bailey's first round-tripper and Singleton's blow came off Clay Kirby, who was the Reds' loser.

Woods connected as a pinch-hitter and Bailey homered for the second time in the seventh with Will McEnaney on the mound for the Reds. Jorgensen rapped his drive off Tom Hall in the ninth. Despite an 11-0 lead, Dennis Blair was unable to finish, going out after George Foster knocked in two runs with a single. Chuck Taylor gave up a run-scoring double by Pete Rose before retiring the side. [The Sporting News]
