After hitting a three-run homer in the first inning, Billy Williams drove in two more runs with a single in the ninth to lift the Cubs to a 7-6 victory over the Phillies. Williams also had two other hits, including a double in the fifth when the Cubs counted twice to tie the score at 5-5. The Phillies went ahead in the ninth with a run on a sacrifice fly by Greg Luzinski. In the Cubs' half, Rick Monday walked and took third on a single by Jerry Morales, who advanced an extra base on a fumble by Luzinski before Williams singled. [The Sporting News]
