Five Cardinal pitchers issued a total of 11 walks and finally handed the Phillies a 4-3 victory on a pass with the bases loaded after two were out in the ninth inning. Greg Luzinski singled in the ninth and, with one out, Garry Maddox also singled. Maddox advanced to second when Tony Scott fumbled the ball in center field, but Jerry Martin, running for Luzinski, was thrown out trying to score.

The Cards then passed Tim McCarver intentionally, but the move backfired when Pete Vuckovich also walked Davey Johnson to load the bases and pinch-hitter Jose Cardenal drew a pass from Dave Hamilton to force in Maddox with the Phillies' winning run. [The Sporting News]
