. . . where the 1970s live forever!

In contrast to his pitching performance in two previous starts, Rick Wise yielded only five hits in 8 2/3 innings as the Red Sox defeated the Brewers, 3-1. Wise, entering the game with a staggering earned run average of 54.00, yielded two hits in the first inning but then retired 18 straight batters before Cecil Cooper singled for the Brewers in the seventh. Singles by Von Joshua and Cooper around an infield out produced the Brewers' run in the ninth before Bill Campbell replaced Wise and ended the game. [The Sporting News]
