. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A single by Pete LaCock in the 10th inning scored pinch-runner Jerry Terrell and gave the Royals a 6-5 victory over the Angels. Willie Aikens, who drove in three earlier runs, singled with one out. Terrell ran for Aikens, advanced to third on a single by John Wathan and came home on LaCock's third hit of the game. [The Sporting News]
