Sunday June 10, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A pinch-hit double by Bruce Bochte in the eighth inning drove in three runs and lifted the Mariners to a 5-2 triumph over the Indians. The score was 2-2 in the eighth when the Mariners filled the sacks on a single by Ruppert Jones and walks to Leon Roberts and Dan Meyer. Bochte hit a blooper into short left field, where shortstop Tom Veryzer and left fielder Paul Dade collided while trying to catch the ball, and it fell for a double that cleared the sacks.
