Saturday May 31, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although hitting into the first triple play in the major leagues this season, the Indians defeated the Mariners, 5-2. In the second inning, the Indians had Ron Hassey on second and Joe Charboneau on first when Toby Harrah hit a liner to Bruce Bochte.

The Mariner first baseman's throw to shortstop Jim Anderson doubled up Hassey and the return peg to second baseman Julio Cruz, who covered first, caught Charboneau for the third out. The Indians took advantage of an error by Mariner starter Mike Parrott to score three unearned runs in the third inning and capped their scoring with back-to-back homers by Cliff Johnson and Hassey in the fifth.
