A wild pitch by Bill Bonham with the bases loaded in the 14th inning allowed Richie Zisk to score the Pirates' winning run in a 3-2 victory over the Cubs. Zisk opened the inning with a single and when Richie Hebner bunted, both runners were safe on a wild throw by Carmen Fanzone. Following George Mitterwald's third passed ball of the game, Bonham walked Rennie Stennett intentionally to fill the sacks before his wild pitch with Manny Sanguillen at the plate.

The Cubs scored both their runs in the first on a single by Don Kessinger and doubles by Fanzone and Andre Thornton. The Pirates picked up a marker in their half when Dave Parker struck out but reached base on a passed ball and scored on a double by Willie Stargell. Hebner singled in the seventh, moved up on a sacrifice and counted the tying tally on a pinch-single by Ed Kirkpatrick. [The Sporting News]
