MVP: Lonnie Smith (Phi 1980) .481/.481/.630, 0 HR, 2 RBI
Another big upset for the 1980 Phillies. Game 1 was a pitchers' duel that was scoreless through 7. The Yankees scored 4 in the 8th, and CC Sabathia finished a 3-hit shutout. The Phillies scored 3 in the 1st inning of Game 2, then scored the winning run in the 7th on a Greg Luzinski solo home run, and held on to win a close game. Game 3 included a 5-run 7th for the Phillies and a 4-run 8th for the Yankees, and it was 6-6 in the 9th. The Phillies' Del Unser hit a walk-off double in the bottom of the 9th to take the series lead. They then took a 3-1 series lead in Game 4 which was close, but never really in doubt. The Yankees extended the series with a Game 5 shutout blowout. The Phillies ensured that there would be no 7th game with a very strong 9-3 Game 6 win.
