In a dramatic turn of events, Joe Ferguson hit a two-run homer with two out in the ninth inning to carry the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the Cubs. Ron Santo homered for the Cubs' run in the fifth. Rick Reuschel, who struck out 13, did not yield a hit until Willie Crawford and Ron Cey singled in the eighth. With one out in the ninth, Bill Buckner singled for the Dodgers' third hit. Willie Davis then flied out before Ferguson smashed his homer.
