Friday May 8, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Two homers by Mike Schmidt and a bases-loaded triple by Manny Trillo powered the Phillies to an 11-7 victory over the Padres. Schmidt's first blast came in the fifth inning with two mates aboard and tied the game at 6-6.

Then, after the Padres broke the tie in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Broderick Perkins to take a 7-6 lead, the Phillies loaded the bases on two errors and a walk, setting the stage for Trillo's three-bagger. Schmidt followed with his second round-tripper to climax the five-run inning. [The Sporting News]
