Friday July 28, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After Dave McKay tied the game with a homer in the ninth inning, the Blue Jays scored on an error by Paul Molitor in the 11th and defeated the Brewers, 3-2. John Mayberry drew a walk and yielded the paths to Willie Upshaw, who took second on a sacrifice by Luis Gomez. Rick Bosetti then hit a grounder to Molitor and when the second baseman threw wildly to first, Upshaw came home with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
