Sunday July 6, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Giants broke a tie with three runs in the 10th inning and defeated the Dodgers, 7-4. Jack Clark and Rich Murray singled and, on a sacrifice by Al Holland, Art Howe fumbed the bunt to load the bases. Bobby Castillo relieved and retired the next two batters, but Milt May broke the tie with a single, driving in one run, and Joe Strain followed with another single to a plate pair of insurance tallies.

Before the game Willie McCovey was stricken with a stomach virus, but the veteran came up as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to wind up his 22-year career in the major leagues. McCovey received a standing ovation from the crowd of 46,244 as he left the field. [The Sporting News]
