Friday May 4, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Errors by Robin Yount and Cecil Cooper in the eighth inning enabled the Blue Jays to score two unearned runs and defeat the Brewers, 5-4. Rick Bosetti grounded to Yount and was safe on the shortstop's wild throw.

After a sacrifice by Ted Wilborn and an intentional pass to Otto Velez, John Mayberry hit a grounder that went through Cooper's legs at first base, Bosetti scoring. Roy Howell then singled to plate Velez with what proved to be the deciding run. [The Sporting News]
