The game was suddenly tight at 8-6 and starting to resemble some of the classic Wrigley Field  Phillies-Cubs games of the 1970s.  But alas, Marshall was yanked after allowing 6 runs on 5 hits in 3 1/3 innings and 5 Cubs relievers shut down the Phillies allowing them only 2 hits over the final 5 2/3 innings.

I remember watching the game until the Phillies were down 12-0 in the early innings. I gave up and moved onto another activity. I came back a few innings later to find the Phils had caught up or were ahead! The game I remember also resulted in a Phillies win with both teams around or above 20 runs. As I recall this was one of the games that Mike Schmidt hit 4 homers in. Hey Mark, care to fill in some of the details in another post?
