Monday September 29, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Staging a desperate rally in the bottom of the 15th inning, the Phillies edged the Cubs, 6-5, to remain a half-game behind Montreal in the East Division race. After the Cubs snapped a 3-3 tie in the top of the 15th on a sacrifice fly by Scot Thompson and RBI double by Carlos Lezcano, Lonnie Smith and Pete Rose walked to begin the bottom of the frame and both runners advanced on a wild pitch.

A groundout by Bake McBride scored Smith and moved Rose to third. Dennis Lamp relieved Doug Capilla on the mound for Chicago and got Mike Schmidt on a popout, but Garry Maddox stroked a single to tie the game. Keith Moreland followed with a single and Larry Bowa walked to load the bases. Manny Trillo then lined a single up the middle to plate the winning tally. [The Sporting News]
