Sunday June 15, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Two home runs by Amos Otis and solo blasts by Willie Aikens and Hal McRae powered the Royals to a 7-2 thumping of the Brewers. The Royals scored their first run in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Frank White, and round-trippers by Otis and Aikens upped the lead to 3-0 in the sixth. Otis smacked a two-run clout in the eighth and McRae drilled a bases-empty homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
