Dave Cash, who contributed two hits in the first game as the Phillies won, 6-2, came back with four more hits in the second game and capped his performance with a run-scoring single in the 11th inning to beat the Pirates, 4-3, in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader. Cash began with a single in the first inning of the opener and, after an infield out by Larry Bowa, scored on a single by Willie Montanez. Mike Schmidt followed with a homer to make it 3-0. The Phillies added their three other runs in the fourth on singles by Ollie Brown and Mike Anderson, a sacrifice fly by Larry Cox, triple by Cash and double by Bowa.

Tug McGraw pitched the last three innings of the nightcap and gained his first victory in a Phillies' uniform when Bob Boone opened the 11th with a single, Don Hahn sacrificed pinch-runner Terry Harmon to second, Tony Taylor drew an intentional pass and Cash broke up the game with his sixth hit of the night.
