Christenson pitches a 8.1 innings scattering 8 Mets hits for the win. Ron Reed comes in with one out (and two on) in the ninth for his 13th save of the season. Reed faced one batter (Roy Staiger) getting a game ending 6-4-3 (Bowa-Cash-Hutton) double play.
The win extends the Phils lead in the NL East to 7.5 games over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In his 10 year big league career (all with the Phillies) Christenson would smack 11 career home runs.

He used Dick Allen's 42 oz. bat that day.

Your comment made me look up some old newspaper articles -- and there was no mention of Allen's bat being used.
All the articles did make a big deal about LC breaking the Phillies 8 game losing streak.
