The Cardinals, after rallying twice earlier in the game, came from behind for a third time and scored four runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Expos, 11-10. Leron Lee led off the ninth by drawing a walk and when Claude Raymond threw wildly on an infield hit by Jose Cardenal, Lee raced to third and Cardenal wound up at second. Lee scored on an infield out by Lou Brock. Carl Taylor singled to drive in Cardenal. Joe Hague, who had batted in three runs previously with a single and double, then smashed the winning two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
