Sunday May 1, 1977
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Although the Mariners tagged Ken Holtzman for 10 hits, the Yankees executed four double plays to enable their lefthander to post a 5-2 victory. Thurman Munson homered for the Yankees' first run. With the score tied, 2-2, Munson singled in the sixth, moved up on a pass to Reggie Jackson and scored on a double by Chris Chambliss. After an intentional pass to Carlos May, Paul Blair walked to force in another run. [The Sporting News]
