In addition to pitching a four-hitter, Bill Bonham saved his own game by starting a double play in the ninth inning as the Cubs defeated the Phillies, 2-0, before an opening-day crowd of 30,601 at Wrigley Field. The Cubs counted both their runs in the first on a walk to Vic Harris, double by Rick Monday, wild pickoff throw by by Ron Schueler and error by Willie Montanez on a grounder by Billy Williams. In the ninth, after the Phillies loaded the bases with one out, Bonham grabbed a grounder by Greg Luzinski and started a double play via a throw to catcher George Mitterwald and relay to Williams at first.
