. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A three-run homer by Dusty Baker in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Dodgers to a 4-2 triumph over the Pirates. The Dodgers trailed, 2-1, in the ninth, when Gary Thomasson singled with one out and was replaced by pinch-runner Ted Martinez. A single by Von Joshua kayoed Buc hurler Kent Tekulve in favor of Enrique Romo. One out later, Baker connected for his 20th circuit clout of the campaign. [The Sporting News]
