. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Cardinals smashed three homers in the fourth inning, accounting for six runs, and defeated the Braves, 7-4. Keith Hernandez connected with a man on base, Ted Simmons followed with a solo shot and Ken Reitz capped the slugging show with a three-run drive. The Braves also had three homers, but their blows by Rafael Ramirez, Dale Murphy and Glenn Hubbard produced only four runs. [The Sporting News]
