. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A three-run double by Joe Morgan keyed a four-run 11th inning outburst that carried the Giants to a 5-1 victory over the Pirates. The game was tied, 1-1, when Larry Herndon began the winning surge with a triple. Pinch-hitters Jeff Leonard and Jim Wohlford walked with one out to fill the bases. After pinch-hitter Bob Brenly popped out, Morgan cleared the sacks with a two-bagger and Enos Cabell singled to plate Morgan. [The Sporting News]
