. . . where the 1970s live forever!

With Greg Luzinski and Richie Hebner accounting for three RBIs apiece, the Phillies scored nine runs in the first three innings and outlasted the Pirates, 11-7. The Phils sent nine men to bat in the first and scored four runs. Luzinski hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded, Richie Hebner tripled for two runs and Ted Sizemore singled to bring in Hebner.

Luzinski batted in two runs with a double and Hebner singled for another tally in the second. Triples by Jay Johnstone and Mike Schmidt around a single by Larry Bowa added a pair in the third. Schmidt hit an inside-the-park homer in the eighth. The Pirates had circuit clouts by Bobby Tolan, Omar Moreno and Jerry Hairston. [The Sporting News]
