. . . where the 1970s live forever!

With a double by Jim Rice as the key blow, the Red Sox scored two runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Angels, 3-1. The loss was the fourth in a row for Andy Hassler this season and 15th in succession since April 29, 1975. With two down in the ninth, Carl Yastrzemski singled and scored the tie-breaking run on Rice's double. Rico Petrocelli followed with a single to add an insurance marker. [The Sporting News]
