. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A single by Jerry Royster in the ninth inning for his fourth hit of the game drove in the winning run as the Braves edged the Padres, 4-3. With the game tied, pinch-hitter Bob Horner began the ninth with a walk and was replaced by pinch-runner Gary Cooper, who reached second on a sacrifice by Luis Gomez. After an intentional pass to pinch-hitter Jeff Burroughs, Royster delivered his run-scoring single to end the game. [The Sporting News]
