. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jeff Burroughs, who had four hits in four official trips, capped his perfect day at bat by drawing a walk in the 10th inning to set up the run that gave the Rangers a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Burroughs' hits included a run-scoring single in the first inning and a homer with a man on base in the fifth.

Boog Powell homered for the Indians, who tied the score in the seventh with singles by Duane Kuiper, Rick Manning and George Hendrick. After walking in the 10th, Burroughs gave way on the paths to Dave Moates, who moved to second when Danny Thompson walked and scored on a single by Lenny Randle. [The Sporting News]
