June 30, 1980

It was a beautiful night for baseball at Montreal's Olympic Stadium.  36,000 Expos fans watched their first-place team take on the second-place Phillies.  This time it would be the Phils coming out on top as Keith Moreland powered a grand slam off Expos starter Bill Gullickson.  While the Expos gamely tried to come back from a 7-0 lead, starter Dickie Noles and relievers Kevin Saucier and Ron Reed were able to beat back the horde just enough to secure Noles his first victory.
