Starting with four runs in the first inning, the Cubs went on a scoring spree and overwhelmed the Phillies, 17-2, with 20 hits that included homers by Joe Pepitone, Randy Hundley, Milt Pappas and Cleo James. In the first, Glenn Beckert singled and scored on a double by Jim Hickman. Ron Santo walked and Pepitone followed up with his homer. Hundley connected with two aboard and Pappas added his round-tripper when the Cubs piled up eight runs in the fourth. Bob Miller, who was obtained from the White Sox, replaced Pappas in the ninth with a 17-1 lead and received credit for a cheap save, although giving up a homer by Oscar Gamble. [The Sporting News]
