. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pat Zachry received credit for his first victory in a Mets' uniform when Mike Vail doubled home two runs in the seventh inning to beat the Expos, 2-1. Steve Henderson walked and Bruce Boisclair singled ahead of Vail's two-bagger. Zachry, who came from the Reds in the Seaver deal, allowed only two hits, including a homer by Del Unser, until singles by Unser and Jose Morales forced his exit with one out in the eighth inning. Skip Lockwood relieved and gained his 13th save. [The Sporting News]
