. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After giving up two runs in the first two innings, Fred Norman pitched scoreless ball the rest of the route while the Reds broke away to defeat the Phillies, 8-2. Mike Schmidt homered for one of the Phillies' runs. Bobby Tolan hit a homer and run-scoring single to effect a 2-2 tie before the Reds took command with two runs in the sixth on a single by Dan Driessen, pass to Tolan and double by Dave Concepcion.

Tony Perez homered in the eighth and, after a single by Tolan, Bill Plummer also hit for the circuit. Pete Rose tripled in the ninth and counted the Reds' last run on a sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan. [The Sporting News]
