. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After exploding for three runs on two homers to tie the game with two out in the ninth inning, the Phillies scored twice in the 10th and defeated the Cardinals, 6-4. Mike Schmidt homered for the Phils in the second before the Cardinals erupted against Steve Carlton for all their runs in the sixth. Garry Templeton plated a pair with a double. Pete Rose and Schmidt both went out in the ninth, but Greg Luzinski set off the Phils' rally with a homer and Garry Maddox followed with a single. When Del Unser came up to bat for Manny Trillo, the Cardinals removed John Fulgham and brought in George Frazier. Unser tagged Frazier's first pitch for a score-tying homer.

In the 10th, Greg Gross and Larry Bowa singled. Rose grounded to Mike Tyson, who tried to start a double play, but the sliding Bowa knocked the ball out of Templeton's hands at second base, Gross scoring on the error. Schmidt and Luzinski followed with singles to add an insurance run. [The Sporting News]
