The slugging of Richie Hebner offset five Montreal home runs as the Phillies came from behind in the last of ninth inning to edge the Expos, 8-7. The Phils' third baseman clouted a pair of two-run homers and also drove home the game-winning run.

With the Expos ahead, 7-6, in the ninth, Jerry Martin led off with a single. A double by Garry Maddox and an intentional walk to Greg Luzinski loaded the bases. A single by Jose Cardenal tied the score and Hebner followed with another hit. [The Sporting News]
