. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run double by Kurt Bevacqua in the ninth inning enabled the Padres to post a 2-1 victory over the Reds. The Padres had two out and nobody on base when the winning rally began with a walk to Bill Fahey. Gene Tenace followed with a single and Bevacqua then lined his two-bagger to right-center.
