Phillies 5, Pirates 2Game 65 - Saturday Night, June 22nd in Philadelphia
Record - 27-38, 5th Place, 11 games behind the Cardinals
One Sentence Summary: For the second night in a row, a dramatic game-ending hit from Juan Samuel sent the Phillies to a walk-off win.
What It Means: I'd love to find audio of Harry Kalas' call of this game.
What Happened: Future Phillie Larry McWilliams provided a solid start for the Pirates, keeping the Phillies to two runs on six hits in his seven-inning outing. Charles Hudson matched him as the Phillies starter, also allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits over his seven innings of work. Trailing 2-1, Samuel walked to start the eighth, Rick Schu singled moving Samuel to third and then Schu was erased on a double play ball hit by Mike Schmidt. Samuel stayed put at third, and came home a few batters later when Bo Diaz singled.
In the ninth, with Luis Aguayo on second and Tim Corcoran on first, Samuel homered off John Candelaria to give the Phillies a 5-2 victory.
Featured Card: I'll happily feature my second Samuel card in a row for this post, again from the wonderful, black-bordered 1985 Donruss set.
