. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Steve Yeager hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning to enable the Dodgers to triumph over the Phillies, 7-6. Yeager's blow, coming after a single by Jim Wynn, a sacrifice and intentional pass to Ron Cey, snapped a 4-4 tie. The Phillies then fell short by one run in their half of the 10th when Jay Johnstone homered off Mike Marshall with a man on base. [The Sporting News]
