. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Two errors in one inning by first baseman Rod Carew enabled the Brewers to edge the Twins, 3-2. Trailing, 1-0, the Brewers started the seventh inning when Gorman Thomas walked. Jack Heidemann bunted to Carew, who slipped and fell trying to field the ball and both runners were safe. Carew was charged with an error. Art Kusnyer, also trying to sacrifice, likewise bunted to Carew, who threw wildly to third trying for a forceout, and both baserunners scored. [The Sporting News]
