The hitting of Richie Hebner highlighted the Phillies' 5-3 triumph over the Giants. The first baseman tripled home one run in the third inning and then scored on a sacrifice fly by Bake McBride. In the sixth stanza, a double by Mike Schmidt, intentional walk to Greg Luzinski and single by Hebner produced the game-winning tally. [The Sporting News]
