Saturday May 3, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Rookie lefthander Gary Lucas shut out the Mets for 8 1/3 innings before yielding a homer by Joel Youngblood, but Rollie Fingers then took over and saved the Padres' 2-1 victory. The Padres touched Craig Swan for a run in the third inning on a single by Barry Evans, sacrifice by Lucas and double by Ozzie Smith.

What proved to be the deciding tally counted in the fourth after Gene Richards and Dave Winfield singled. Swan threw wildly to second in a pickoff attempt, allowing the runners to advance and, one out later, Jerry Mumphrey singled to drive in Richards. [The Sporting News]
