. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A bases-loaded sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Bob Molinaro in the eighth snapped a 4-4 tie and gave the White Sox a 5-4 triumph over the Brewers. The game-winning blow was set up by a single by Harold Baines, safe bunt by Jim Morrison and infield hit by Tony Bernazard. [The Sporting News]
