Saturday May 12, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Doubles by Jim Wohlford and pinch-hitter Charlie Moore in the ninth inning gave the Brewers a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. The Brewers' first two runs came in the second when Ben Oglivie doubled and Sixto Lezcano homered. Ron LeFlore, who singled and doubled, counted both Tiger tallies. [The Sporting News]
