September 24, 1980

Larry Christenson gave perhaps his best outing of the season, pitching eight innings of four-hit, scoreless baseball.  Unfortunately for the Phils, Ed Lynch of the Mets matched his effort, keeping the Phillies scorless for seven innings.  Turned over their respective bullpens, the scoreless tie continued until the tenth inning, when the Phillies finally broke through against Mets relief ace Neil Allen when a Pete Rose single brought home rookie Jay Loviglio with the winning run.
