A single by Dusty Baker with the bases loaded and two out in the 12th inning brought the Braves a 7-6 victory over the Phillies. Mike Schmidt hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, who held a 4-0 lead before the Braves picked up a pair off Jim Lonborg in the third. The Braves then chased Lonborg and went ahead with four runs in the seventh, but the Phillies tied the score dramatically in the ninth when Mike Anderson hit a pinch-single and Tony Taylor, also pinch-hitting, came through with a homer.

In the 13th, the Braves got going with a pinch-single by Paul Casanova. Ralph Garr, trying to sacrifice, forced Casanova, but Marty Perez singled and Darrell Evans walked to load the bases. Ivan Murrell popped up as a pinch-hitter before Baker came through with his game-winning single. [The Sporting News]
