Ted Simmons singled with the bases loaded in the 17th inning, driving in two runs, to give the Cardinals a 5-3 victory over the Cubs in the longest game in the N. L. so far this season. The Cardinals took an early 3-1 lead, but the Cubs picked up a run on a walk and singles by Willie Smith and Paul Popovich in the eighth and tied the score in the ninth when Jim Hickman tripled and Ron Santo lofted a sacrifice fly.

Al Hrabosky, who pitched the last two innings for the Cardinals and struck out three of the six batters to face him, received credit for his first major league victory on Simmons' hit. Lou Brock opened the 17th with an infield hit, Vic Davalillo sacrificed and Dick Allen was passed intentionally. After Mike Shannon flied out, Jose Cardenal drew a pass to load the bases.
