Tuesday May 20, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Vic Correll's fifth homer in five games, a grand slam in the eighth, plus a three-run shot in first by Dusty Baker, powered the Braves past the Expos, 9-4. Correll picked up another RBI in the third with a single which plated Baker. Earl Williams singled home the first Atlanta run just prior to Baker's homer in the opening inning.

Gary Carter pounded a two-run homer for Montreal in the sixth off winner Roric Harrison, who needed relief help from Max Leon when Montreal pulled within one. Leon surrendered a run-scoring single to Larry Biittner, but blanked the Expos the rest of the way. [The Sporting News]
