Saturday June 18, 1977
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Gene Richards and George Hendrick each hit a two-run homer to carry the Padres to a 4-1 victory over the Cardinals. Richards connected after a single by Bob Davis in the fourth inning, and Hendrick duplicated the blow following a single by Mike Ivie in the fifth. The Cards averted a shutout when Lou Brock broke out of his slump with a double in the seventh, scoring Mike Phillips, who had walked. [The Sporting News]
