. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies, who pounded Jerry Koosman for seven runs in the first two innings to win the first game of a doubleheader, 9-6, also beat the Mets in the second game, 4-3, when Greg Luzinski hit his 19th homer of the season in the 12th inning. Tug McGraw stood his former Mets' teammates on their ears, pitching three perfect innings of relief to save the opener and then allowing only one hit in four innings to gain credit for the victory in the nightcap. The Phillies rapped Koosman for three runs in the first inning on a single by Dave Cash, triple by Larry Bowa, an error, walk and single by Bob Boone. Four more runs followed in the second on singles by Mike Anderson and Cash, sacrifice fly by Bowa, homer by Ollie Brown, walk to Greg Luzinski and singles by Dick Allen and Mike Schmidt. The Mets scored five times in the fifth, but it was not enough.

In the nightcap, the Mets counted their three runs in the fourth on the misfortunes of Tom Underwood, who let one run in with an error, passed Tom Seaver with the bases loaded and hit Felix Millan with a pitch to force in another run. The Phillies picked up a pair in the sixth on a walk, error, infield out and homer by Jay Johnstone before tying the score in the ninth when Tony Taylor drew a pass from Rick Baldwin with the bases loaded.
