Wednesday June 10, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A three-run homer by Ruppert Jones and the combined six-hit pitching of Juan Eichelberger and Gary Lucas carried the Padres to a 3-2 triumph over the Pirates. Jones' blast came after two-out singles by Terry Kennedy and Randy Bass in the sixth inning. Lucas notched his 10th save. [The Sporting News]
