. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jack Clark had four hits, three runs scored and one RBI to pace the Giants to an 8-5 victory over the Mets. The Mets made four errors -- two each by Frank Taveras and Jose Moreno -- and threw four wild pitches, three by losing starter Ray Burris. John Montefusco, with relief help, picked up the win.
