Saturday May 17, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

In an iron-man performance, Matt Keough allowed only five hits in 14 innings and came out the winner when the A's defeated the Blue Jays, 4-2. Jerry Newman knocked in the tie-breaking run with a single and Mickey Klutts added an insurance tally with a double. [The Sporting News]
