. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rowland Office, who had hit safely in 29 straight games, was stopped on his streak in three official times at bat, but the Braves nevertheless defeated the Expos, 2-1. The Expos scored in the first on a walk to Pepe Mangual and two-out single by Jose Morales, but the Braves came back with their pair in the second on a single by Darrel Chaney, an error on which Jerry Royster was safe and a double by Earl Williams, which drove in both runners, giving the victory to Dick Ruthven.
