. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The combination of a double by Andre Thornton, a wild pitch by Shane Rawley and a sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Ron Pruitt produced the Indians' run in the 10th inning for a 4-3 victory over the Mariners. After Paul Dade homered in the fourth to tie the score at 3-3, the Indians went hitless for 6 1/3 innings before Thornton doubled in the 10th. Meanwhile, Sid Monge pitched 4 1/3 innings of perfect relief for the Indians and came out with credit for the victory. [The Sporting News]
