Wednesday September 23, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Giants, who exploded for nine runs in the seventh inning to wipe out an 8-0 deficit, broke loose for four runs in the 10th to defeat the Dodgers, 14-10. The Dodgers kayoed Gaylord Perry while building up their big lead before the Giants had their big inning, featuring a two-run homer by Jim Ray Hart and a grand slam by Dick Dietz.

The Dodgers tied the score in the eighth and pulled even again after the Giants picked up a run in the ninth. Bobby Bonds singled in the 10th off Ray Lamb, the Dodgers' heretofore undefeated reliever, and Tito Fuentes and Willie Mays walked to load the bases. When Frank Johnson grounded out, Bonds scored to break the tie. Ken Henderson followed with a three-run homer off Mike Strahler. [The Sporting News]
