. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run homer by Leon Roberts broke a 2-2 tie in the ninth inning and gave the Mariners a 4-2 verdict over the Blue Jays. Tom Paciorek led off the Mariner ninth with a double and Roberts followed by lacing a pitch into the left field seats. Glenn Abbott scattered six hits in going the route. [The Sporting News]
