Monday June 16, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Unleashing a 16-hit bombardment, the A's snapped the Red Sox' six-game winning streak in manufacturing an 11-8 triumph. The A's scored three runs in the first inning on back-to-back triples by Rickey Henderson and Dwayne Murphy, a wild pitch and an RBI single by Mitchell Page.

They added two more in the fourth on consecutive two-out singles by Murphy, Dave Revering, Wayne Gross and Tony Armas. Mickey Klutts doubled in runs in the fifth and eighth. Every Oakland starter collected at least one hit. [The Sporting News]
