A homer by Ron Santo with a man on base in the 10th inning brought the Cubs a 3-2 victory over the Phillies. A single by Denny Doyle and double by Del Unser for his third hit of the game gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead in the top half of the 10th before the Cubs came back with a single by Glenn Beckert and Santo's homer.
