. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Held hitless by Dick Bosman until the fifth, the Tigers scored twice in that frame on singles by Ben Oglivie, Aurelio Rodriguez and Ron LeFlore, plus a sacrifice, and went on to defeat the A's, 3-1. Mickey Lolich, going the route for the Bengals, had a shutout until the sixth, when Bill North doubled and scored Oakland's only run on Sal Bando's single. The Tigers tacked on an insurance run in the ninth on a single by Bill Freehan and double by Leon Roberts. [The Sporting News]
