Joe Hague batted in five runs with two singles and a homer in leading the Cardinals to a 9-2 victory over the Mets. Jim McAndrew. who started for the Mets, was the victim of wildness and failed to last the first inning. Vic Davalillo and Julian Javier drew passes, Dick Allen singled for the Cards' first run and after Joe Torre walked to load the bases, Don Cardwell relieved. Hague greeted the switch with a two-run single. Hague homered in the eighth and wound up his day's production with a two-run single in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
