A daring slide by Dave Cash, who dove headfirst between the legs of catcher Manny Sanguillen, provided the Phillies with a two-out run in the ninth inning to defeat the Pirates, 3-2. Cash singled with one out and moved to second on a grounder by Larry Bowa. Mike Schmidt followed with a single to left field. Richie Zisk made a strong, accurate throw, but Sanguillen straddled the plate to catch the ball and Cash slid with arms outstretched to touch the plate before being tagged by the Pirates' catcher.
