. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Getting all their runs in the bottom of the fifth, the Twins completed the three-game series sweep by downing the Brewers, 3-1. Rod Carew and Mike Cubbage, each of whom had a perfect night at the plate, led off the fifth with consecutive singles. A sacrifice fly by Butch Wynegar plated Carew and Cubbage raced home on a triple by Dan Ford. A sacrifice fly by Rich Chiles scored Ford. The Brewer run came in the second on a single by Sal Bando, a stolen base, and a single by Robin Yount. [The Sporting News]
