. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Calling it the "best game" of his career, Dennis Lamp yielded only one hit while pitching the Cubs to a 5-0 victory over the Padres. Gene Richards singled with two out in sixth inning for the Padres' only safety. Dave Kingman started Lamp on the way to victory by smashing a two-run homer in the first. Lamp helped clinch his own decision by batting in two runs with a pair of singles. [The Sporting News]
