Entering the game as a replacement catcher, Barry Foote came to bat following a double by Mike Schmidt in the 10th inning and smashed his first homer of the season to give the Phillies a 3-1 victory over the Giants. The Phils counted their initial run in the fourth on singles by Greg Luzinski, Bob Boone and Garry Maddox. The Giants tied the score in the ninth with a safe bunt by Larry Herndon and triple by John Tamargo. [The Sporting News]
