Bill North dropped a fly ball off the bat of Larry Bowa with two out and two runners on base in the last of the eighth, enabling the Phillies to score the tying and go-ahead runs in a 3-1 victory over the Giants. Mike Schmidt and Manny Trillo had singled to set the stage for the miscue that helped the Phils end their three-game losing streak. [The Sporting News]
