Wednesday September 19, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Buck Martinez, Ben Oglivie and Sixto Lezcano all cracked solo homers as the Brewers enjoyed a 12-1 rout of the Mariners. The Brewers opened the second inning with five straight hits and scored three runs. Martinez' round-tripper led off the fourth, Oglivie's clout came in the fifth and Lezcano connected for the circuit in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
