A seven-run rally in the ninth inning, featuring a homer by Jim Breazeale with two men on base, brought the Braves an 11-1 victory over the Phillies. The Braves, who were trailing, 7-4, began their comeback with a run on a double by Ralph Garr and single by Dusty Baker.

Earl Williams walked and Breazeale followed with his homer to put the Braves ahead. Not content with just taking the lead, the Braves went on to add three more runs on singles by Darrell Evans, Mike Lum and Gil Garrido and a triple by Sonny Jackson. [The Sporting News]
