. . . where the 1970s live forever!

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]
