. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Reds used a big inning -- a five-run second which saw 11 batters go to the plate -- to turn back the Phillies, 10-4. George Foster, Dave Concepcion and Ken Griffey had run-producing singles in the frame. Cincinnati scored another run on catcher Johnny Oates' bad throw as Concepcion stole second. Tom Hilgendorf relieved Philadelphia starter Ron Schueler after Griffey's hit, and walked Joe Morgan and Tony Perez to force in the fifth run.

Morgan's RBI single and Johnny Bench's sacrifice fly got two more Cincy runs across in the fourth. Morgan singled across another marker in the sixth and Foster tacked on a two-run double. Dave Cash got the Phillie runs across in the third and fifth with sacrifice flies. Oates drove in the final two in the sixth with a bases-loaded single. [The Sporting News]
