Thursday September 14, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Brewers registered a sweep of a four-game series for the first time in the club's history when George Scott scored on a wild throw in the 15th inning to defeat the Indians, 4-3. Scott walked and stole second, leading to an intentional pass to John Briggs. Joe Lahoud beat out an infield hit to load the bases. With Joe Azcue batting, catcher Jerry Moses had a shot at picking Scott off third but threw wildly. [The Sporting News]
