A double by Billy Williams with two out in the 13th inning put the Phillies on the spot and their decision about what to do went wrong in a 5-4 loss to the Cubs. After Williams' two-bagger, the Phillies elected to pass Jose Cardenal intentionally to get at Bill Madlock, who already had three hits in the game. But Madlock then made it four hits with a single that sent Williams across the plate with the deciding run. The Phillies sent the game into extra innings when Del Unser beat out an infield hit and Greg Luzinski homered to tie the score at 4-4 in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
