Sunday May 17, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Brewers completed a three-game series sweep by posting a 6-2 triumph over the A's. Milwaukee was trailing when it erupted for five runs in the sixth inning. With one out, Jim Gantner and Charlie Moore walked and Cecil Cooper then reached second base and Gantner scored on an error by second baseman Dave McKay.

After Ben Oglivie was intentionally walked to load the bases, Roy Howell delivered a sacrifice fly. Ted Simmons kept the rally going with a two-run triple and scored on a single by Mark Brouhard. [The Sporting News]
