. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Phillies, who took advantage of Clay Kirby's wildness to score four runs in the first inning, erupted for four more in the third and defeated the Reds, 11-4, for their fourth straight victory. Three walks, an error by Tony Perez that allowed two runs to score, a single by Mike Schmidt and two more passes produced the Phillies' counters in the first. Schmidt homered with two men on base for the big blow in the third. [The Sporting News]
