The fourth hit of game by Bob Boone -- a single to right in the 10th inning -- scored pinch-hitter Bud Harrelson with the winning run as the Phillies eased past the Astros, 3-2. Greg Luzinski opened the 10th with a single. Harrelson ran for him and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Richie Hebner. After Garry Maddox was intentionally walked, Boone delivered the decisive single. [The Sporting News]
