. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A bases-loaded walk to Reggie Smith forced home Bill Russell with none out in the bottom of the ninth to give the Dodgers a 2-1 victory over the Phillies. Russell tripled to open the inning off loser Jim Kaat. Gene Garber relieved and intentionally walked bases the full.

Smith then pinch-hit for Joe Simpson and walked on a full-count pitch. Ron Cey homered in the fourth for the first Dodger run. Bob Boone's double and singles by Ted Sizemore and Garry Maddox got the equalizer for the Phils in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
