Phillies 3, Expos 2 (13 inn)
Don Stanhouse vs Ron Reed
Once again the dormant Expo offense squanders a classic pitching performance by one of their starters. Don Stanhouse, who's ERA now stands at 1.82, gave up 1 lousy unearned run in the 2nd and left the game with a no decision. With 2 outs in the second Larry Parrish booted a grounder hit by his opposite number Mike Schmidt. With Schmitty on 1st Bob Boone walked and Larry Bowa came through with a clutch RBI single. Stanhouse was forced to pitch to Bowa, because pitcher Ron Reed was on deck & Reed is an above averge hitting pitcher. Montreal tied it up in the 5th when Pepe Mangual hit a sac fly with 1 out and the bases loaded. It's great to get the run across to tie the game, but you have to get more than just 1 when the bases are loaded. This would come back to haunt the Expos, because they would not score the rest of the way. Neither team scored in regulation, nor did the score in the 10th, 11th or 12th innings. After Tug McGraw struck out the side in the top of the 13th the Phillies decided to put an end to this marathon. With 2 outs and Dick Allen on 1st Bob Boone hit a line shot into the bullpen to send everyone on Broad Street home happy.
