The Cardinals came from behind to tie the score in the ninth on Ted Simmons' two-run homer, then beat the Phillies, 3-2, in the 13th on Joe Torre's bases-loaded single off the left field wall in a battle for first place in the East Division. The Phils' Wayne Twitchell had St. Louis shut out, 2-0, when Bake McBride opened the ninth with a single. Simmons followed with his homer. Willie Montanez and Bob Boone had singled home Philadelphia runs in the first and ninth.

In the 13th, Ted Sizemore opened with a double and McBride was intentionally walked. With Simmons at the plate, catcher Boone's pickoff throw to second was wild. The runners advanced and Simmons was intentionally passed to load the bases, setting the stage for Torre's game winner. [The Sporting News]
