. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Ken Reitz drove in three runs with two homers and Tony Scott then batted in the winning tally with a single in the 10th as the Cardinals edged the Reds, 4-3. Pinch-hitter Terry Kennedy began the 10th with a walk and was replaced by pinch-runner Don Hood, who reached second on a sacrifice by Ken Oberkfell and scored on Scott's hit. [The Sporting News]
