. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After Steve Carlton retired the first 10 batters, the Pirates broke loose and defeated the Phillies, 8-3. The Pirates snapped Carlton's spell with two runs in the fourth inning on a single by Manny Sanguillen, pass to Al Oliver and double by Richie Zisk. Three more runs in the fifth, including a single by Frank Taveras, triple by Rennie Stennett, single by Sanguillen, pass to Oliver and single by Willie Stargell put the game out of the Phillies' reach.
