Sunday May 29, 1977
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Tim Foli reached base on an error by Jerry Royster in the 10th inning but received credit for the game-winning RBI when Gary Thomasson scored on the play to bring the Giants a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Thomasson walked with one out and took third on a single by Larry Herndon. Foli followed with a hard grounder that Royster knocked down but couldn't handle in time to prevent Thomasson from crossing the plate. [The Sporting News]
