. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Jody Davis crashed two homers, leading the Cubs to a 6-4 triumph over the Braves. The Chicago catcher hit a solo blast in the fifth inning and capped a four-run sixth with a two-run shot. The first two runs of the sixth came on an error by Atlanta shortstop Rafael Ramirez and an RBI single by Leon Durham. [The Sporting News]
