. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A double by Mario Guerrero with the bases loaded and two out in the fourth inning drove in two runs and started the Angels' scoring in a 5-1 victory over the Athletics. The Angels added their other counters in the sixth. The first run scored on a walk to Bill Melton and singles by Terry Humphrey and Leroy Stanton. After a single by Guerrero loaded the bases, two other runs crossed the plate when Dick Bosman erred on a bunt by Dave Chalk and when Dave Collins bounced into a fielder's choice.
