Sunday June 11, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Late-inning home runs in both games carried the Brewers to a doubleheader sweep over the Blue Jays, 2-1 and 5-4. In the opener, Larry Hisle belted a solo clout with two out in the bottom of the eighth to provide the winning margin as Lary Sorensen set a club record with his eighth straight complete game.

In the nightcap, Robin Yount clubbed his first round-tripper of the season to lead off the ninth frame and snap a 4-4 tie. The Brewers had evened the contest in the eighth on a walk to Hisle and double by Ben Oglivie. [The Sporting News]
