Ron Stone smashed a homer in the eighth inning to provide the Phillies with their deciding run in a 10-9 slugfest with the Braves. Orlando Cepeda drove in two runs with a homer in the third and two more with a single in the fifth to pace the Braves to an 8-4 lead. The Phillies tied the score with a four-run rally in the sixth and went ahead with a double by Don Money and single by Larry Hisle in the seventh. Stone's homer in the eighth then proved decisive, offsetting the Braves' run in the ninth on a double by Bob Tillman and single by Bob Aspromonte. [The Sporting News]
