Tuesday September 29, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bruce Kison, getting relief help from Steve Renko, recorded his first victory since May 21, 1980, as the Angels prevailed over the White Sox, 5-1. California scored in the third inning when Steve Lubratich collected his first major league hit, a leadoff double, went to third on a sacrifice and came in on a single by Rick Burleson. Don Baylor lashed a two-run homer in the sixth and Bobby Grich followed with another circuit swat. [The Sporting News]
