The Cubs won the longest game in Jarry Park's history, beating the Expos in 18 innings, 8-7, to open a twi-night doubleheader, but the Expos gained revenge in the second game by trouncing the Cubs, 15-0, behind the two-hit pitching of Dennis Blair. The Expos, after starting the long night by giving up two runs in the first inning of the opener, came back with five runs in their half in an outburst that included a grand-slam homer by Ron Fairly. However, the Cubs batted their way to a 7-5 lead with the aid of two-run homers by Steve Swisher and Rick Monday. The Expos bounced back with a run in the eighth on doubles by Bob Bailey and Mike Jorgensen and tied the score in the ninth on a single by Ron Hunt, a pair of passed balls by Swisher and wild pitch by Burt Hooton.

The contest then wended its way through eight scoreless innings before Don Kessinger walked in the 18th and Jerry Morales, hitless in eight previous times at bat, tripled to drive in the Cubs' deciding run. The Expos went down in order in their half to end the four-hour, 55- minute game.

Hunt was the Expos' leading batter in the nightcap, driving in five runs with two doubles and a single. [The Sporting News]
