Saturday September 29, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Floyd Bannister and Shane Rawley combined on a three-hitter and pitched the Mariners to a 9-2 victory over the White Sox. After doubles by Bruce Bochte and Rodney Craig helped produce two runs in the second inning, the Mariners put the game away in the third when Ruppert Jones singled, Tom Paciorek tripled and Willie Horton homered.

Bannister pitched hitless ball until the fifth when doubles by Lamar Johnson and Chet Lemon, together with an error by Craig, gave the White Sox their two runs. Rawley hurled the last three frames and yielded one hit. [The Sporting News]
