Sunday July 8, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Mike Schmidt tied the game with a two-run homer in the sixth inning -- his fifth round-tripper in three games -- and Pete Rose singled home the decisive run in the seventh as the Phillies posted a 5-3 decision over the Giants. The Phils snapped a 3-3 tie in the seventh when Bob Boone and Steve Carlton singled, Larry Bowa walked and Rose lined a two-out single to center. Manny Trillo doubled home the Phils' final tally in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
