With two out in the ninth inning, Rennie Stennett doubled and scored on a single by Richie Hebner to bring the Pirates a 4-3 victory over the Phillies. The Pirates had to come from behind after the Phillies took a 3-0 lead. Singles by Willie Montanez and Bob Boone and triple by Tommy Hutton produced two runs for the Phillies in the second and Jay Johnstone added a homer in the fourth.

The Pirates picked up a pair in the sixth on doubles by Hebner, Willie Stargell and Manny Sanguillen. The tying tally followed in the eighth. Al Oliver beat out an infield hit to Dave Cash and took an extra base on a wild throw. After an infield out and walk to Richie Zisk, Sanguillen was safe on an infield tap that enabled Oliver to score. [The Sporting News]
