. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Hot-hitting Broderick Perkins doubled, scoring Gene Richards with the tie-breaking run in the last of the eighth inning, and the Padres went on to score five runs in a 10-6 triumph over the Mets, completing the three-game series sweep. Richards had singled and advanced on Terry Kennedy's sacrifice. [The Sporting News]
