The score was tied at 2 after nine. Homestead won the game in the 16th inning. Davey Lopes led off the inning for Homestead when he laced a base-hit. Miller came next and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. Mike Schmidt then smashed a two-run homer (his 1st of the season). The Philadelphia offense proved no trouble in the bottom of the 16th.
The victory went to Bruce Sutter(1-0) who went 4 innings, allowing no runs. Tim Stoddard(0-1) ended up with the loss in relief. He gave up 2 hits and no walks in 2 innings.
