Two pinch-hitters came through when the Cardinals rallied for two runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Cubs, 4-3. Joe Torre opened the stanza with a single, but Joe Hague struck out and Mike Shannon flied out. Vic Davalillo then batted for Dal Maxvill and tripled, tying the score. Next, Leron Lee came to the plate for Sal Campisi and singled to drive in the deciding run. [The Sporting News]
