Tuesday June 19, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A throwing error by Butch Wynegar on Ben Oglivie's steal of second enabled Cecil Cooper to race home from third with the winning run in the eighth inning of the Brewers' 10-9 triumph over the Twins. Cooper opened the eighth with a walk, took second on a fielder's choice and reached third on a wild pitch by Mike Bacsik. [The Sporting News]
