Starting with a homer by Mike Schmidt, the Phillies scored five runs in the fifth inning and defeated the Mets, 9-4. After Schmidt's smash, the Phillies scored another run on a walk to Greg Luzinski, singles by Richie Hebner and Garry Maddox and an error by Mets' center fielder Lee Mazzilli. Bob Boone laid down a squeeze bunt to score Hebner, Jim Morrison tripled to drive in Maddox and Bake McBride hit a sacrifice fly to plate Morrison. [The Sporting News]
