. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Taking advantage of three errors in their scoring, the Athletics also got combined shutout pitching from Mike Norris and Rollie Fingers to defeat the Red Sox, 2-0. In the fourth inning, Bill North reached base on an error by Denny Doyle, moved up on a sacrifice by Bert Campaneris and scored when Rick Burleson booted a grounder by Joe Rudi and Carlton Fisk dropped the ensuing throw to the plate. Sal Bando followed with a double to drive in Rudi. [The Sporting News]
