Friday May 9, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A homer by Joe Charboneau with a man on base capped the Indians' scoring stanza in a 4-1 victory over the Mariners. In the fourth inning, Mike Hargrove extended his batting streak to 19 games with a single. Toby Harrah and Cliff Johnson followed with singles, scoring Hargrove. Harrah also crossed the plate when Mariner left fielder Dan Meyer fumbled Johnson's hit.

But that run became earned and the Indians' lead mounted to 4-0 when Charboneau hit his homer, scoring behind Johnson. The Mariners avoided a shutout when Leon Roberts connected for the circuit off Dan Spillner in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
