. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Homers by Willie Stargell, Phil Garner and Bill Madlock backed the steady pitching of Jim Bibby as the Pirates routed the Braves, 13-4. The Bucs took the lead for good in the third inning when Dave Parker drove in a run with an infield out and Stargell delivered a two-run homer. Garner's and Madlock's homers were solo shots. Parker and Stargell each had three RBIs and Omar Moreno stole three bases. [The Sporting News]
