. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After going down in order for 7 1/3 innings against the pitching of Bob Owchinko, the Dodgers put together three hits for a run to defeat the Padres, 1-0. Owchinko's perfect game was broken when Steve Garvey beat out a bunt. After a forceout by Dusty Baker, Glenn Burke singled, sending Baker to third. Steve Yeager then singled on Owchinko's next pitch, driving in Baker. Tommy John, back in action after missing two turns because of the flu, shut out the Padres on four hits. [The Sporting News]
