Monday September 22, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Red Sox stretched their lead over the idle Orioles to four games with a 6-4 victory over the Yankees. Boston took the lead with a three-run rally in the sixth. Denny Doyle, who drove in three of the winners' runs, got a bad-hop single to right which plated two after rookie Fred Lynn's record-setting 46th double drove across the tying run. Doyle singled home another run in the eighth and Deron Johnson did likewise in the ninth. Thurman Munson hit a two-run homer for the Yankees in the first. [The Sporting News]
