. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies used four straight singles and a sacrifice fly to score three runs in fifth inning and defeated the Braves, 5-2. Terry Harmon, Ron Stone, Deron Johnson and Johnny Briggs rapped hits off Jim Nash while Don Money supplied a scoring fly. Larry Bowa, who stole three bases, provided another run with a theft of home after Hoyt Wilhelm replaced Nash in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
