They lead 15-6 after 3 innings‚ and 21-9 going into the bottom of the 6th‚ but can't hold it. Rawly Eastwick shuts out the Cubs for 2 frames to win. The 2 teams combine to have 21 different players score runs and the 2-team total of 47 extra bases on long hits (24-Phi) sets a ML mark for an extra-inning game.
