Saturday May 10, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Tony Armas tied the score with a two-run homer in the seventh inning and then drove in a run with a single in the ninth to bring the A's a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays. Damaso Garcia homered with a man on base and Al Woods provided a solo shot to give the Blue Jays a 3-1 lead before Wayne Gross walked and Armas knotted the count in the seventh.

Dave Revering opened the ninth with a single and gave way to pinch-runner Mike Edwards. After a sacrifice by Gross and intentional pass to Jeff Newman, Armas delivered his winning single. [The Sporting News]
