Wednesday August 6, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Although needing relief help from Elias Sosa, Scott Sanderson received credit for his 12th victory as the Expos downed the Mets, 4-1. The Expos scored in the first inning when Ron LeFlore walked, stole second and came home on a single by Andre Dawson.

Larry Parrish cracked a two-run homer in the second to break a 1-1 deadlock. The final Montreal tally came in the fifth when LeFlore singled, stole second and tallied on a single by Rodney Scott. [The Sporting News]
