A single by Mario Mendoza in the 12th inning for the utility infielder's first RBI of the season gave the Pirates a 9-8 victory over the Phillies. A finger injury kept Mike Schmidt out of the Phillies' lineup. Manager Ozark moved Richie Hebner to third and put Davey Johnson at first. Johnson drove in five runs with a double, homer and sacrifice fly. Dave Parker hit a two-run homer for the Pirates, who rallied to take an 8-6 lead in the eighth inning.

The Phillies came back to tie the score with two runs in the ninth on doubles by Bake McBride and Jay Johnstone and a sacrifice fly by Johnson after Garry Maddox singled and Hebner walked to load the bases. In the Pirates' 12th, Jim Fregosi walked and Ed Ott doubled, Fregosi stopping at third, before Mendoza came through with his game-winning single. [The Sporting News]
