Twice escaping from disaster, the Cardinals not only beat the Phillies, 9-6, in 13 innings to complete the protested game of August 1, but also won the regularly-scheduled contest, 7-5, in 10 innings. The game of August 1 was stopped by rain in the top half of the 12th after the Cardinals had scored three runs to go ahead, 6-3. The score reverted to a 3-3 tie. However, the Cardinals' protest that the Phillies had failed to make proper efforts to put the field into playing condition was upheld by League President Chub Feeney.

When play resumed in the 12th inning, the Cardinals had two men on base with one out, but Manny Muniz retired the side without further scoring. The Phillies then rallied for three runs in their half on a pass to Larry Hisle, single by Denny Doyle, triple by Larry Bowa and single by Pete Koegel. Another single by Greg Luzinski and a sacrifice put runners on second and third, but Stan Williams got Don Money on a popup and Ron Stone on a fly. As a result, the ex-American Leaguer received credit for his first N. L. victory since 1962 when the Cardinals scored three runs in the 13th on a single by Ted Simmons, safe bunt by Julian Javier and singles by Bob Burda, Joe Torre and Matty Alou.

In the regularly-scheduled game, the Phillies held a 5-3 lead with the aid of Luzinski's first major league homer, but the Cardinals tied the score in the ninth with two unearned runs resulting from an error by Doyle. The Cardinals then won in the 10th on a single by Torre, triple by Simmons and grounder by Joe Hague. [The Sporting News]
