. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A single by Randy Hundley with the bases loaded in the 10th inning provided the Cubs with a 6-5 victory over the Phillies. Ron Santo doubled, Ernie Banks was passed intentionally and Cleo James beat out a bunt to set the stage for Hundley's hit after Johnny Callison struck out.

Billy Williams homered with a man on base and Jim Hickman batted in two runs with a double when the Cubs took a 5-1 lead in the third inning. The Phillies picked up a run in the fourth, added two on a homer by Deron Johnson in the fifth and tied the score when Tim McCarver singled, Ron Stone doubled and Larry Bowa singled in the ninth.
