. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies called on two relief pitchers in the eighth inning and both were whacked for homers as the Cardinals erupted for four runs to gain a 5-1 victory. Lou Brock greeted the arrival of Joe Hoerner with a circuit clout. After Matty Alou doubled and Ted Simmons walked, Darrell Brandon took over and served up a three-run homer by Jose Cardenal.
