A wild throw by Vic Correll in attempting to complete a double play in the ninth inning enabled the Phillies to defeat the Braves, 1-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Steve Carlton. Jay Johnstone led off the ninth with an infield single for the Phillies' sixth hit off Carl Morton, who then suffered a spell of wildness, walking Greg Luzinski and Dick Allen to load the bases.

Regaining his control, Morton retired Mike Schmidt on a pop fly. Johnny Oates then grounded to Marty Perez, who threw home, forcing Johnstone, but Correll's peg to first base hit Oates and bounced away, allowing Luzinski to cross the plate. [The Sporting News]
