A throwing error by Mac Scarce opened the way for the Dodgers, who scored two runs in the 12th inning to defeat the Phillies, 6-4. Joe Ferguson hit two homers for the Dodgers to account for their first three runs. Billy Grabarkewitz homered for the Phillies.

In the 10th, Lee Lacy bounced to Scarce, who threw the ball into right field for a three-base error. After an intentional pass to Ken McMullen, Bill Buckner singled to drive in Lacy and send McMullen to third. Ferguson followed with a sacrifice fly for his fourth RBI of the game.
