Monday August 25, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Clint Hurdle homered, doubled and singled and drove in two runs to pace the Royals to a 9-3 decision over the Brewers. Hurdle staked K.C. to a 2-0 lead in the second inning with a round-tripper and the Royals scored two more in the top of the third on a double by Hal McRae and single by Willie Aikens. Amos Otis' two-run double highlighted a four-run ninth. George Brett went 2-for-4, raising his average to .398. [The Sporting News]
