1978 Montreal Expos vs Atlanta Braves - Radio Broadcast / On July 30, 1978, the Montreal Expos faced off against the Atlanta Braves at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. The Expos, under the management of Dick Williams, were having a solid season and were in contention in the National League East. The Braves, managed by Bobby Cox, were struggling in the lower half of the National League West standings. The game featured Woodie Fryman starting for the Expos and Tom Boggs for the Braves. Montreal had been experiencing standout performances from players like Andre Dawson and Gary Carter, while the Braves were looking for consistent contributions from their young talent, including Bob Horner.
The game quickly became one-sided as the Expos' offense exploded early. Andre Dawson and Larry Parrish both hit multiple home runs, leading an offensive onslaught that saw the Expos score eight runs in the third inning alone. Dawson's power and Parrish's consistent hitting overwhelmed the Braves' pitching staff, which included relievers Craig Skok and Rick Mahler, who struggled to contain the Expos' lineup. Fryman, on the mound for Montreal, delivered a dominant performance, keeping the Braves scoreless and allowing only seven hits throughout the game.
The Expos ultimately triumphed with a staggering 19-0 victory, highlighted by their 28 hits and eight home runs. This win was a reflection of the Expos' strong season, which saw them finishing second in the National League East, just short of the playoffs. Key players like Dawson and Carter continued to be pivotal throughout the season, earning accolades for their performances. The Braves, on the other hand, continued their rebuilding phase, looking ahead to future seasons for improvement.
