Alert running by Larry Bowa, who raced home from first base on a sacrifice bunt and wild throw in the 11th inning, brought the Phillies a 6-5 victory over the Astros. Bowa led off the stanza with a single. Jay Johnstone bunted to Doug Rader, who threw to Larry Milbourne covering first, as Bowa advanced. Noting that third base was temporarily unguarded, Bowa kept running and when Milbourne threw wildly, Bowa came home with the winning run.
