Sutton Dominates, Lefebvre Powers Dodgers Offense
“That was a clean single. And Jerry just wasn't thinking about who hit it. And as he calmly came in and made sure the ball didn't go through him... Willie Davis proceeded to take the extra base.”
Padres Threaten in the Seventh, Sutton Holds Firm
“Al is flat on his face and the ball is in his glove. He holds it up like a trophy. And Ferraro made a sensational play to take an extra base hit away from Will.”
Final Inning Drama: Brown’s Home Run and Sutton’s 16th Win
“Ollie's enjoying every step along the way. Well, why not? It's his 19th. So Ollie Brown bombs one for Don Sutton.”
Postgame Show and Radio Free Europe Segment
The broadcast transitions to the postgame show, where the final score is confirmed: Dodgers 3, Padres 1. The segment includes updates from Candlestick Park, where the Giants tie the Reds 3-3 in the seventh inning. A brief but powerful commentary on Radio Free Europe follows, highlighting its role in providing uncensored news to youth in communist Eastern Europe.

“Al is flat on his face and the ball is in his glove. He holds it up like a trophy. And Ferraro made a sensational play to take an extra base hit away from Will.”
