Willie Montanez homered for the Phillies' first run in the sixth inning and the Pirates tied the score in their half. Roberto Clemente singled and Al Oliver walked. Clemente took third after a fly by Richie Hebner and scored when Manny Sanguillen forced Oliver.

In the 12th, Greg Luzinski singled for the Phillies and was forced by Tommy Hutton, who took third on a single by Tim McCarver. Don Money then grounded to Dave Cash, who threw to second, forcing McCarver, as Hutton scored. [The Sporting News]
