Led by Don Kessinger, who collected five hits including the game-winning single in the 10th inning, the Cubs won first game of a doubleheader, 7-6, but the second game was halted by darkness after six innings with the Expos leading, 8-1. In the 10th inning of the lidlifter, Brock Davis walked and both runners were safe on a late throw to second on a bunt by Chris Cannizzaro. Cleo James then was hit by a pitch to load the bases before Kessinger came to the plate and hit his game-ending single.
