In a nationally televised game, the Phillies outlasted the Pirates, 4-3, in 14 innings. With the score tied, 3-3, Bud Harrelson opened the 14th with a walk off Dave Hamilton, who had just entered the game. A sacrifice bunt by Bake McBride moved the runner to second.

After an intentional walk to Mike Schmidt and two-out walk to Jerry Martin, Richie Hebner hit a single to right to end the marathon. The Pirates engineered a tie in the ninth inning when Phil Garner hit a one-out bad-hop single over shortstop Larry Bowa's head and Duffy Dyer followed with a double off the left field wall.
