Saturday July 12, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Homers by Darrell Evans, Earl Williams and Dusty Baker helped power the Braves to a 9-4 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader before the Expos came back to win the second game, 7-3, with the aid of two circuit clouts by Gary Carter. Evans and Williams hit their round-trippers successively in the first inning of the opener to tie the score at 2-2. The Braves then took command with four runs in the fifth. Carl Morton doubled and scored on a single by Marty Perez. After Williams walked with two away, Baker hit his homer to add three runs to the Braves' total.

In the nightcap, Carter drove in three runs with his pair of homers. Bob Bailey accounted for two RBIs with a single and sacrifice fly. Larvell Blanks hit a homer for the Braves. [The Sporting News]
