Saturday April 22, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Expos' hero for the second straight game, Jim Fairey drove in a run with a pinch-single in the 10th inning to beat the Cardinals, 6-5. Ken Singleton walked to open the stanza, but the next two batters flied out.

However, Terry Humphrey then singled as a pinch-hitter and Fairey followed with his game-winning hit. Denny Lemaster, making his first appearance with the Expos, was the winner in relief. [The Sporting News]
