. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Moving closer to clinching the East division title, the Phillies thumped the Pirates, 10-3. The Phillies took the lead in the third inning, getting three runs on just one hit. Larry Bowa doubled home Bake McBride, who had reached base on an error, and after the bases were loaded, Mike Schmidt was hit by a pitch and Tim McCarver hit a sacrifice fly. In a six-run fifth frame, Ted Sizemore had an RBI single, Steve Carlton had a two-run single and McBride capped the rally with a two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
