Wednesday July 27, 1977
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Scoring 11 runs in the final two innings, the Brewers ended their five-game losing streak with a 14-5 pasting of the Red Sox. Boston led, 5-3, in the top of the eighth when Milwaukee counted four times, Jim Wynn scoring the tie-breaking run when first baseman George Scott let Lenn Sakata's grounder get through his legs for an error.

The Brewers tacked on seven runs in the ninth, Sal Bando and Ken McMullen contributing RBI singles and Von Joshua a two-run double. Don Money gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead in the top of the sixth with a two-run homer, but the Red Sox scored three times in the bottom of the inning on run-producing singles by Rick Miller and Fred Lynn and a bases-loaded walk to Jim Rice.
