Wednesday July 19, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rick Honeycutt and John Montague combined on a three-hitter as the Mariners triumphed over the Blue Jays, 6-2. In the Mariner first, Julio Cruz led off with a walk, went to third on a wild pickoff attempt and scored on a single by Leon Roberts. In the second stanza, singles by Dan Meyer, Bill Stein and Cruz accounted for one run and Larry Milbourne drove in another with a two-base-hit.

The Mariners wrapped up the game in the sixth canto as singles by Stein, John Hale and Cruz, plus a walk to Bob Stinson, produced two more tallies. A sacrifice fly by Hale concluded the scoring in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
