. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Cecil Cooper collected four of the Brewers' 17 hits and one of their four homers in an attack that produced a 15-7 victory over the Red Sox. Sixto Lezcano, Ken McMullen and Don Money also rapped round-trippers for the Brewers, while the Red Sox had two circuit clouts by Jim Rice and one each by George Scott and Butch Hobson among their 10 hits. Lezcano set an A. L. record for most putouts in one game by a right fielder, handling 10. [The Sporting News]
