. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A tenth-inning home run by Vic Harris, who was batting only .055, enabled the Giants to edge the Expos, 3-2. The Expos had tied the game in the ninth when Bill Madlock and Jack Clark collided going for Ellis Valentine's pop fly that would have been the final out.

Madlock was charged with an error as the ball fell to the ground and Warren Cromartie, who had doubled, scored. Clark drove in the Giants' first two runs with a fielder's choice grounder and triple. [The Sporting News]
