Lou Brock walked with two out in the ninth inning, stole second and scored on a single by Ted Sizemore to give the Cardinals a 5-4 victory over the Dodgers. Doubles by Jose Cruz and Brock helped the Cardinals take a 4-2 lead with three runs in the seventh inning.

The Dodgers came back with a run in their half on a triple by Bill Russell and single by Davey Lopes. After Brock scored in the ninth, the Dodgers rallied again but fell short with one run on singles by Russell, Manny Mota and Bill Buckner. [The Sporting News]
