. . . where the 1970s live forever!

With a count of two strikes, Cecil Cooper slashed an opposite-field double to drive in Jim Wohlford and give the Brewers a 4-3 victory over the Royals. Wolhford opened the seventh inning with a double and Larry Haney sacrificed. After Robin Yount struck out and Don Money was passed intentionally, Cooper hit his tie-breaking double. Jim Slaton was the beneficiary of the blow, gaining the victory to end his personal string of six straight losses to the Royals. [The Sporting News]
