Sunday July 9, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Running his batting streak to 10 games and driving in two runs, Tom Paciorek sparked the Mariners to an 11-7 victory over the Angels. The Angels led, 5-4, going into the sixth inning when the Mariners staged a five-run rally. Paciorek doubled to drive in the first run and Bill Stein plated the go-ahead marker with a sacrifice fly.

A single by Bill Plummer drove in two more runs and a sacrifice fly by Larry Milbourne scored the last run of the inning. Nolan Ryan, making his second start since coming off the disabled list, was sent to the showers after giving up nine runs (eight earned) in 5 1/3 innings. [The Sporting News]
