Ken Singleton, who tripled to knock in two of the Expos' four runs in the first inning, came through with a single in the ninth to score Ron Hunt and beat the Phillies, 5-4. The Expos' opening burst included a pass to Hunt, single by Willie Davis, Singleton's triple, a double by Ron Fairly, two walks and a sacrifice fly by Barry Foote. The Phillies came back to tie the score with a double by Greg Luzinski, triple by Larry Bowa and double by Mike Anderson as their key ingredients. In the ninth, Hunt was hit by a pitch, Larry Lintz sacrificed and, after an intentional pass to Davis, Singleton delivered the winning hit. [The Sporting News]
