. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies exploded for seven runs in the ninth inning and shocked the Cubs, 10-4. With the score tied, 3-3, Larry Bowa started the inning by beating out an infield hit and reached second when J.C. Martin failed to come up with the throw from Don Kessinger. Doc Edwards bunted and all hands were safe on a late throw by Roberto Rodriguez to third. Rick Joseph struck out, but Tony Taylor shattered the tie with a two-run triple. Newly-acquired Juan Pizarro took the mound and failed to retire any of four batters, giving up a single by Denny Doyle for one run and three passes to force in another.

Milt Pappas relieved and fanned Larry Hisle, but Bowa, up for the second time in the stanza, drove in two runs with a single and the seventh run of frame followed when Martin fumbled the throw from the outfield. The Cubs could pick up only one run in their half of the ninth on a triple by Jack Hiatt and sacrifice fly by Kessinger. [The Sporting News]
