Monday May 12, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Expos kayoed former teammate Carl Morton, who had beaten them six straight times, with eight runs in the first three innings and rolled to an 11-1 triumph over the Braves. Rookie Pat Scanlon's first major league homer with two aboard highlighted a five-run Montreal third.

That blow drove Morton from the mound with the host club holding a 7-0 lead. Tony Scott, who had singled, scored the fifth run of the inning on a passed ball by catcher Biff Pocoroba, then singled home two more Expo runs in the seventh. Montreal's Gary Carter hit a solo homer in the second and the Braves' Earl Williams did the same in the ninth off Steve Rogers to spoil the shutout. [The Sporting News]
