Friday May 30, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A four-run outburst in the second inning carried the Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Padres, who went down to their fifth straight defeat. After Willie Montanez batted in two runs for the Padres with a single in the first inning, the Reds loaded the bases in the second on a single by Harry Spilman, double by Ray Knight and pass to Johnny Bench.

Ron Oester singled to drive in one run and Charlie Leibrandt followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the score. Dave Collins walked to fill the sacks again. John D'Acquisto replaced Steve Mura for the Padres and uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Bench to score the Reds' go-ahead run. Dave Concepcion then batted in the fourth run of the frame with an infield out. [The Sporting News]
