. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Burt Hooton, backed by fifth-inning homers off the bats of Ron Cey and Steve Yeager, claimed his fifth straight victory as the Dodgers defeated the Cubs, 3-1. The Cubs tallied their only run in the first when Bill Madlock singled home Don Kessinger.

Cey homered with Willie Crawford, who had singled, aboard in the fifth and Yeager duplicated two pitches later. Mike Marshall, relieving Hooton in the eighth, worked out of jams in that frame and the ninth to earn his 12th save. [The Sporting News]
