. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Winning the 200th victory of his career, Don Sutton scattered six hits as the Dodgers sailed past the Pirates, 7-2. Joe Ferguson was the hitting star of the game, blasting a three-run homer in the middle of a five-run fourth inning. Dusty Baker and Davey Lopes each contributed an RBI single to the outburst. Ron Cey hit a solo homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
