Friday June 21, 1974
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Bill Buckner homered in the 10th inning for his fourth hit of the game to bring the Dodgers a 4-3 victory over the Giants. Ed Goodson drove in all three of the Giants' runs, two with a double in the third inning and one with a single in seventh. Randy Moffitt, who made his first major league start after 129 relief appearances, was chased in the eighth when the Dodgers rallied to tie the score. The first run scored on singles by Buckner, Jim Wynn and Steve Garvey. The Giants brought in Elias Sosa, but Willie Crawford knocked in a run with a single and Ron Cey tied the score with a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
