Pinch-hitter Donn Clendenon drove in two runs with a two-out single in the ninth inning to bring the Mets a 4-3 victory over the Phillies. With one out, Ken Boswell was safe on an error by Larry Bowa and stopped at second on a single by Ken Singleton. After the runners advanced on an infield out by Jerry Grote, Clendenon delivered his hit, batting for Ray Sadecki. [The Sporting News]
