Monday September 18, 1978
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A single by Mickey Rivers in the bottom of the eighth inning broke a 3-3 tie and lifted the Yankees to a 4-3 decision over the Brewers. Chris Chambliss was hit by a pitch to lead off the Yankee eighth and moved to second on an infield out by Graig Nettles.

Roy White was given an intentional walk and Cliff Johnson then drew a base on balls to load the sacks. Rivers hit a hard smash that bounced off shortstop Robin Yount's glove into left field and Chambliss crossed the plate with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
