Tuesday August 25, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Gary Carter knocked in six runs, four with his fifth career grand slam, to lead the Expos to a 9-1 rout of the Reds. Carter's round-tripper came in the fourth inning after a double by Tim Raines, walk to Rodney Scott and a forceout by Andre Dawson filled the sacks. Carter delivered his other two tallies with a first-inning two-bagger. Dawson also singled in a run in the first frame. [The Sporting News]
