Helping himself, Ernie McAnally singled in the ninth inning and scored the run that gave the Expos a 5-4 victory over the Cubs. After his single, McAnally advanced on a sacrifice by Ron Hunt. The Cubs then walked Boots Day intentionally, but Rusty Staub ended the game with a single that scored McAnally. [The Sporting News]
