Jerry Morales batted in six runs with two homers and a single, his second circuit clout coming with two men on base and two out in the ninth inning to give the Cubs a 9-6 victory over the Mets. The Cubs built up a 6-3 lead at the expense of Tom Seaver in the first five innings. Rick Monday and Morales hit back-to-back homers in the fourth and Morales drove in two more runs with a bases-loaded single in the fifth. The Mets took Seaver off the hook by rallying to the tie score in the sixth. Ed Kranepool was announced as a pinch-hitter, but when the Cubs brought in lefthander Dave LaRoche to replace righthander Steve Stone, Duffy Dyer batted for Kranepool and singled to drive in two runs. Wayne Garrett sent the tying tally home with a sacrifice fly. Chicago Cubs 9, New York Mets 6Game Played on Wednesday, May 22, 1974 (Night game) at Shea StadiumCubs 1 0 1 2 2 0 0 0 3 - 9 11 2
