In a remarkable comeback, the Phillies wiped out a 6-0 deficit and then defeated the Pirates, 7-6, when Mike Schmidt drew a pass from Dave Giusti with the bases loaded in the 13th inning. Richie Hebner and Richie Zisk homered to pace the Pirates to their early lead. After picking up a run in the third, the Phillies scored three times in the fifth on singles by Larry Bowa and Greg Luzinski, a triple by Dick Allen and single by Johnny Oates. Luzinski provided the tying tallies in the seventh, hitting a homer after a single by Jay Johnstone.

In the 13th, Johnstone doubled and Luzinski was passed intentionally, leading to a sacrifice by Allen. Giusti issued another intentional walk, this time to Oates, and then failed to relocate the plate facing Schmidt, who walked to force in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
