. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Al Cowens, who went into the game batting only .156, collected three hits in three official trips and John Mayberry accounted for three hits in four at-bats to pace the Royals to a 5-2 victory over the Indians. The Indians garnered only six hits off Dennis Leonard, but held a 2-1 lead before the Royals decided the outcome with three runs in the sixth inning.

Jim Wohlford led off with a double and scored on a single by Mayberry. With two out, Fran Healy singled and George Brett walked to load the bases for Cowens, who came through with a single, driving in two runs to put the Royals ahead. Mayberry iced the victory with a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
