Billy Williams drove home both Chicago runs with a sixth-inning single as the Cubs took advantage of a Met throwing error and beat New York, 2-1, behind the four-hit hurling of Burt Hooton. The Mets manufactured a 1-0 lead in the second on John Milner's single, a stolen base and single by Jerry Grote. In the sixth Don Kessinger singled, catcher Grote threw Matt Alexander's sacrifice bunt attempt into right field and Cub runners ended up at second and third. Williams hit loser Harry Parker's first pitch for the game-deciding single as Chicago ended their five-game skid.
