Lonnie Smith slides into second safely with his 23rd steal.
Lonnie Smith slides into second safely with his 23rd steal.

In a game that took 15 innings and over 24 hours to complete, the Phils broke their four-game losing streak by beating the Cubs, 8-5, in Wrigley Field. Bob Walk started for the Phils, was given a 5-1 lead, and left the game in the seventh inning still leading 5-3. Unfortunately, Phils reliever Ron Reed could not hold the lead in the 9th inning, and allowed the Cubs to tie the game at five. After the 13th inning, with the game still tied, the umpires suspened the game due to darkness (to younger readers: Prior to 1988, Wrigley Field did not have lights.). The next day the game was completed prior to the regularly scheduled game. Bake McBride singled in Larry Bowa off of Chicago pitcher George Riley with the go-ahead run, and Mike Schmidt tripled in Pete Rose and McBride to break the game open. This made Warren Brusstar a winner for the first time in the 1980 season. Schmidt also hit his 28th home run of the season in the third inning, and went 4-for-6 with 2 runs and 3 RBIs on the day. On the day, there were 13 pitchers (7 for Chicago, 6 for the Phils), 31 hits (16 for the Phils), 17 walks (only 5 by Phils' pitchers), and five intentional walks (Ron Reed issued the only free pass by Phils' pitchers). Pittsburgh won their game, claiming first place by themselves (Montreal lost), and the Phils stayed in 3rd, six games in back of the Bucs.
