Saturday October 10, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Brewers leveled the A.L. East Division Series at two games apiece by shading the Yankees, 2-1. Milwaukee scored both its runs in the third inning when Paul Molitor singled, went to third on a single by Robin Yount and scored on a sacrifice fly by Cecil Cooper. A two-out double by Ben Oglivie then plated Yount. The Yanks got their run in the seventh when Jerry Mumphrey reached first on an error by first baseman Cooper, took third on a double by Dave Winfield and came in on an RBI groundout by Lou Piniella.
