Friday May 4, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Rookie infielder Ramon Aviles, called up from the minors to replace the injured Manny Trillo, singled for his first major league hit and drove in two runs in the ninth inning to clinch the Phillies' 5-2 victory over the Dodgers. Before Aviles iced the decision, the Phillies overcame the Dodgers' 2-1 lead with two runs in the seventh on a double by Pete Rose, single by Greg Luzinski, pass to Mike Schmidt, sacrifice fly by Bob Boone and error by Steve Garvey on a grounder by Del Unser.
