. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Mariners erupted for three runs in the 14th inning and defeated the Angels, 8-6. Dan Ford, who hit for the cycle, homered for the Angels in the fifth inning for his eighth straight hit, equaling the California club record set by current manager Jim Fregosi in 1966. After striking out in the seventh to end his string, Ford temporarily saved the Angels from defeat in the 12th after the Mariners had gone ahead, 5-4. Ford tripled and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Don Baylor.

In the 14th, Julio Cruz ignited the Mariners' outburst with a double, Ruppert Jones bunted safely and Bruce Bochte, who earlier had a two-run homer, singled to drive in Cruz. After a bunt by Willie Horton and intentional pass to Dan Meyer, Joe Simpson hit a two-run single, enabling the Mariners to shake off a run by the Angels in their half of the 14th.
