. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies got five-hit pitching from Wayne Twitchell and defeated the Pirates, 5-0. Jim Rooker, who started for the Pirates, extended his string of scoreless hurling to 16 innings before being rapped for a run in the fifth on a single by Craig Robinson and double by Terry Harmon. Greg Luzinski figured in two of the Phillies' subsequent runs, hitting a triple and scoring on an error in the eighth inning and knocking in another tally with a single in the ninth.
