. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Trounced by the Twins in the first game, the Mariners came back behind six-hit pitching of Byron McLaughlin to win the second game of a twi-night doubleheader, 10-2. Ken Landreaux, Glenn Adams and Butch Wynegar each had three of Twins' 18 hits in the lidlifter. Landreaux batted twice in the seventh inning, when the Twins exploded for six runs, and doubled on each trip.

Leon Roberts smashed a three-run homer and Bob Stinson also connected for the circuit in the Mariners' 16-hit attack in the nightcap. [The Sporting News]
