. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Giants erupted for three runs in the 13th inning to gain a 4-1 victory over the nosediving Cubs, who suffered the ninth loss in their last 10 games and fell out of first place in the Eastern Division behind the Cardinals. The Cubs scored their lone run in the second on singles by Jim Hickman and Jose Cardenal and an infield out by Ron Santo. Dave Kingman tied the score with a homer in the eighth.

Gary Matthews led off the 13th with a single and Chris Speier bunted safely. After a sacrifice by Kingman, the Cubs walked Dave Rader intentionally. Gary Thomasson then batted for Elias Sosa and singled, driving in two runs. Bobby Bonds added the final counter with a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
