. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The frustrated Phillies, who had the poorest record of any club in the major leagues, exploded for 11 runs in the seventh inning and smashed the Giants, 11-4. The Phillies sent 15 men to bat in their outburst and collected only six hits, plus two sacrifice flies, but the Giants threw in six walks and two wild pitches.

Willie Montanez batted in two runs with a double and Oscar Gamble drove in two with a triple. Montanez, Don Money and Gamble each reached base twice and scored on both occasions. The Giants tied the major league record for most pitchers in one inning, 5. [The Sporting News]
