Sunday April 18, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

George Wright's three-run homer climaxed a four-run eighth inning that lifted the Rangers to a 9-6 victory over the Brewers, who lost their fifth straight. The game was knotted, 5-5, when Mike Richardt walked to begin the eighth. Pete Vuckovich was lifted for Doug Jones, who retired Leon Roberts on a bunt pop-up, but Mark Wagner singled Richardt to third and Doug Flynn, celebrating his 31st birthday, followed with an RBI single. Jamie Easterly then relieved for the Brewers and was greeted by Wright's circuit clout. [The Sporting News]
