. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After twice stranding a runner at third base with less than two out, the Brewers turned successfully to a squeeze bunt and defeated the Yankees, 4-3. The Brewers scored their initial two runs in the first inning on a pass to Don Money, single by Robin Yount, sacrifice by Sixto Lezcano, infield out by George Scott and errors by Thurman Munson and Bobby Bonds. Singles by Rob Ellis and Money, around a sacrifice, added a tally in the second. Bonds counted twice after drawing walks as the Yankees came back to tie the score.

After the Brewers failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities in the sixth and seventh, Pedro Garcia opened the eighth with a double and took third on Bob Coluccio's third sacrifice of the game. When Money also bunted, Garcia scored ahead of Sparky Lyle's throw to the plate. Money was safe at first and received credit for a hit. [The Sporting News]
