. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Doubles by Richie Zisk and Jim Sundberg in the eighth inning featured a three-run rally that brought the Rangers a 7-5 victory over the Brewers. Zisk's double as a pinch-hitter drove in Buddy Bell and tied the score at 5-5. One out later, Billy Sample walked and Sundberg followed with a two-run double to provide the Rangers' winning margin.
