. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A pass to Mike Schmidt with the bases loaded in the 12th inning gave the Phillies a 5-4 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader before the Braves came back behind the shutout pitching of Tommy Boggs to take the second game, 3-0. Schmidt hit two homers in the opener, boosting his career total to 261 and making him the Phillies' all-time homer king, surpassing Del Ennis, who had 259. Lonnie Smith also homered for the Phillies, his first in the major leagues, and Bob Horner hit his 14th in the month of July for the Braves. Dick Ruthven worked the entire 12-inning route for the Phillies in the longest stint by any N.L. pitcher this season.

Bruce Benedict, forming the battery with Boggs in the second game, helped his pitcher win by driving in two runs with a bases-loaded single. [The Sporting News]
