. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Six-hit pitching by rookie Bryan Clark and homers by Jeff Burroughs and Tom Paciorek keyed the Mariners' 3-2 triumph over the Yankees. Burroughs tied the game, 2-2, with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the seventh and Paciorek delivered the game-winning hit with a leadoff round-tripper in the bottom of the ninth.
