. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pinch-hitter Paul Dade stroked a double off Bruce Sutter to push across a run in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving the Padres a 5-4 victory over the Cubs. The score was 4-4 when Kurt Bevacqua opened the Padre 10th with a single and was forced at second by Jim Wilhelm, who moved to third on a groundout by Bill Fahey. Bill Almon received an intentional walk but pinch-hitter Dade spoiled the strategy by stroking a game-winning double. [The Sporting News]
