. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A triple by Garry Templeton keyed a two-run eighth inning that enabled the Cardinals to shade the Giants, 2-1, behind the four-hit pitching of Bob Forsch. The Redbirds trailed, 1-0, when Bobby Bonds opened the eighth with a double and Templeton followed with his three-bagger. Keith Hernandez then drove home the go-ahead tally with a single.
