Sunday May 25, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pinch-hitting in the 11th inning, Ed Kirkpatrick swung at the first pitch thrown to him by Danny Frisella and connected for a homer to give the Pirates a 6-5 victory over the Padres. The Pirates jumped off to a 3-0 lead in the first with the aid of a triple by Al Oliver, but a two-run single by Alan Foster and an error enabled the Padres to tie the score in the second.

The Pirates went ahead again with two runs in the seventh on a single by Bob Moose, triple by Rennie Stennett and sacrifice fly by Willie Stargell. The Padres then forced the game into overtime with a matching pair in the ninth on a walk to Mike Ivie, single by Fred Kendall, sacrifice bunt by Tito Fuentes and single by Ted Kubiak.
