Wednesday August 12, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bobby Grich drove in all four California runs with a pair of homers, including a three-run shot in the 11th inning, to power the Angels to a 4-1 victory over the Mariners. Grich's first homer came in the second inning and extended his hitting streak to 16 games. His game-winning blast in the 11th followed a double by Rick Burleson, an intentional walk to Fred Lynn and a forceout. [The Sporting News]
