. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The first grand-slam homer of Pat Kelly's entire baseball career powered the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Brewers. Bill Melton was safe on an error in the second inning and, after two out, Jerry Hairston singled and Brian Downing walked to fill the sacks for Kelly's smash off Bill Travers.

George Scott accounted for one of the Brewers' runs with a homer. Rich Gossage, who relieved with two men on base in the sixth, finished the game and received credit for his 14th save of the season. [The Sporting News]
