. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After tying the score twice with homers by Joe Ferguson and Steve Garvey, the Dodgers came from behind in the 11th inning with another homer by Davey Lopes and a run-scoring single by Dusty Baker to defeat the Expos, 4-3. Ferguson hit his homer in the fifth and Garvey sent the game into overtime with a drive in the ninth.

Andre Dawson put the Expos ahead with a circuit clout in the 11th, but Lopes' smash in the Dodgers' half knotted the count again. After a forceout of Gary Thomasson by Garvey and an intentional pass to Ron Cey that loaded the bases, Baker came through with his winning single. [The Sporting News]
