. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Moose Haas, Brewers' rookie righthander, and veteran Steve Renko, making his first start for the White Sox after being obtained from the Cubs, shared honors as the clubs split a doubleheader. Haas allowed only three hits and won the opener, 7-1, while Renko pitched seven innings in the nightcap and obtained credit for a 6-3 victory. The Brewers backed Haas with a homer by Jim Wohiford in the third inning and another round-tripper by Ken McMullen in the fourth during a six-run outburst. Chet Lemon saved the White Sox from being shutout with a circuit clout in the eighth.

In the second game, Renko received his principal batting support from Brian Downing, who drove in four runs with a homer and single. Lamar Johnson also homered for the White Sox, while Von Joshua hit one for the Brewers. [The Sporting News]
