Tuesday April 10, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A three-run homer by Bruce Bochte highlighted the Mariners' 4-1 victory over the winless A's. The Mariners picked up a run in the first inning on a double by Dan Meyer and single by Leon Roberts. After two were out in the fifth, a double by Julio Cruz and infield single by Meyer set the stage for Bochte's homer. [The Sporting News]
