Monday July 21, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Ben Oglivie drove in three runs and Cecil Cooper raised his league-leading batting average to .352 with four hits, sparking the Brewers to a 7-4 triumph over the Yankees. Oglivie, who had three hits, collected a sacrifice fly in the first inning and two-run single in the sixth.

Cooper had four singles in six at-bats and drove in a run. Robin Yount had three hits in Milwaukee's 17-hit attack. The Yankees had 14 hits and left 15 men on base. The two teams stranded 29 runners in all, one short of the A. L. record for a nine-inning game. [The Sporting News]
