. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run single by Miguel Dilone enabled the Indians to defeat the Yankees, 3-2. The score was 1-1 when Dave Rosello opened the eighth with a single and went to third on a double by Rick Manning. After Ron Davis replaced Ron Guidry on the hill for N.Y. and issued an intentional walk to Von Hayes to load the bases, Dilone slapped a grounder off second baseman Andre Robertson's glove for a hit as Rosello and Manning raced home.
