. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Doug Capilla pitched no-hit ball for 6 2/3 innings before giving up an infield single for the Dodgers' only safety in a 4-0 loss to the Reds. Ron Cey rapped a one-hopper off Capilla's glove, with the ball bouncing to Dave Concepcion, whose throw to first was an eyelash too late to catch Cey.

After the Dodgers put two men on base on an error and walk in the eighth, Pedro Borbon relieved Capilla and completed the one-hitter. The Reds' attack included a two-run homer by Pete Rose. [The Sporting News]
