I remember listening to this game on the radio as a kid. By the end of the third inning, I started to comprehend just how bad the local nine were.
This was the day Braves-killer Larry Parrish (yes, that one) homered in three consecutive innings. Two of the homers came off Craig Skok, charged with nine hits and eight runs in 2-2/3 IP.
Surprisingly, the Braves entered the day with a better record (48-54) than the Expos. They would win only 21 games the rest of the year.
I remember those days well, thanks for the memories. At least in the 70s as a young Braves fan I never got my hopes up that they would actually win the division.
