Monday July 30, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Willie Horton clouted a pair of homers and drove in six runs as the Mariners crushed the Angels, 8-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Mike Parrott. The Mariners scored their first run in the second inning on consecutive doubles by Tom Paciorek and Bob Stinson. Horton blasted a three-run round-tripper in the sixth. He added a solo homer in the eighth and smacked a two-run single in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
