A bases-loaded single by Bob Boone in the 11th inning drove in two runs and gave the Phillies a 6-5 victory over the Cubs for their first success in overtime since April 14. Since beating the Mets, 2-1, in 11 innings, the Phillies had lost seven straight games that went beyond regulation distance.

With the score tied, 4-4, Dave LaRoche took the mound in the 11th as the Cubs' fifth pitcher and gave up a double by Willie Montanez and single by Mike Anderson, Montanez stopping at third. Herb Hutson relieved and retired Ollie Brown on a fly. Montanez held third, but Anderson advanced to second after the catch. The Phillies then walked Jay Johnstone intentionally to load the bases, setting the stage for Boone's two-run single. [The Sporting News]
