. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Brewers continued their domination of the Rangers with a 5-1 victory, beating the Texas club for the eighth straight time and for the 10th time in 12 meetings this season. The Rangers scored their run in the third inning on singles by Danny Thompson, Gene Clines and Toby Harrah, but the Brewers got on the road to victory when George Scott singled and Don Money hit a homer in the fourth. Three runs in the ninth iced the verdict. [The Sporting News]
