Tuesday July 31, 1973
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Helping himself with a two-run single, Ken Brett pitched the Phillies to a 6-5 victory in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader after the Cubs had won the first game, 4-3. The Cubs opened the scoring in the lidlifter with three runs in the third inning on a triple by Paul Popovich, doubles by Randy Hundley and Don Kessinger and a single by Billy Williams. The deciding run followed in the fifth when Rick Monday singled, took third on a single by Kessinger and scored on a sacrifice fly by Williams. The Phillies knocked out Fergie Jenkins in the seventh, but Bob Locker saved the game.

In the nightcap, Tommy Hutton singled for the Phillies in the sixth inning, Craig Robinson doubled and Brett batted them home with his single to put the Phillies ahead, 6-3, with the hit that decided his victory. [The Sporting News]
