. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Clutch relief pitching by Al Holland enabled the Giants to hang on for a 6-5 triumph over the Cardinals and complete the three-game series sweep. The rookie southpaw entered the contest in the ninth inning with two men on and got Keith Hernandez on a popup and Ted Simmons on a strikeout to end the game. [The Sporting News]
