. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Mike Marshall, who won 14 games and saved 18 in 1972, failed in relief for the second straight day and was the loser when the Cubs scored in the 10th inning to defeat the Expos, 3-2. Don Kessinger walked to open the overtime stanza and stopped at second on a single by Jose Cardenal. Billy Williams struck out and Cardenal was caught off first base and was retired for a double play. Jim Hickman walked and Ron Santo, swinging at the first pitch, singled to drive in Kessinger with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
