. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning lifted the Red Sox to a 7-6 victory over the Twins. The Red Sox filled the sacks on a single by Butch Hobson, infield hit by Jerry Remy and pass to Carl Yastrzemski before Jim Dwyer batted for Dwight Evans and walked on a 3-1 pitch to force home the winning run.
