. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Tony Taylor, the Phillies' 39-year-old utilityman, came off the bench in the 11th inning and delivered a double to defeat the Mets, 3-2. The Phillies scored on a single by Dave Cash and triple by Larry Bowa in the third and added a run on singles by Alan Bannister and Cash around a sacrifice in the fifth before the Mets rose up against Jim Lonborg, who had been cruising along with a one-hitter.

Del Unser and Ed Kranepool singled in the eighth and Rusty Staub doubled, driving in Unser. After Gene Clines drew a pass from Gene Garber, who relieved Lonborg, the Mets scored the tying run on an infield out by Felix Millan. The Phillies broke the tie in the 11th when Jay Johnstone walked and was forced by Bannister, who sped home from first base on Taylor's double. [The Sporting News]
