. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A sacrifice fly by Robin Yount scored Larry Hisle with the tie-breaking run in the 10th and Charlie Moore added an insurance marker with a single as the Brewers extended their winning streak to nine games with an 8-6 victory over the Indians.

Hisle, who had homered in the fourth, opened the extra frame with a single and took second on a sacrifice by Ben Oglivie. After a wild pitch and a walk to Sixto Lezcano, Yount flied deep to right field, Hisle scoring after the catch. Gorman Thomas walked, moving Lezcano to second in position to come home on Moore's single. [The Sporting News]
