. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The streaking Padres won their eighth straight game, edging the Dodgers, 1-0, as Randy Jones scattered seven hits. The lone score came in the ninth inning. Pinch-hitter Jerry Turner opened with an infield hit. Bill Almon ran for Turner and raced to third on a single by Dave Winfield. Oscar Gamble was walked intentionally to fill the bases. After Gene Tenace fouled out, Terry Forster was brought in to pitch to Derrel Thomas, but the strategy failed when Thomas stroked a single to score Almon. [The Sporting News]
