Saturday June 3, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
After falling behind, 5-0, the Reds came roaring back with homers by Johnny Bench, Julian Javier and Hal McRae to tie the score and then defeated the Phillies, 6 5, with a run in the 10th inning on singles by Ted Uhlaender, Bobby Tolan and Javier. Tommy Hutton homered with two men on base and Larry Bowa drove in two runs with a triple to give the Phillies their 5-0 lead.

Bench's homer for the Reds' first run in the seventh was the slugging catcher's seventh circuit clout in five consecutive games, tying the N. L. record set by Jim Bottomley of the Cardinals in 1929. After Bench's blow, George Foster doubled and Javier homered. A double by Joe Morgan and triple by Tony Perez gave the Reds another run in the eighth before McRae tied the score with his homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
