. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A sacrifice fly by Bill Madlock with the bases loaded in the eighth inning enabled the Cubs to defeat the Expos, 2-1. The Expos also scored on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded, getting their run in the first inning with the RBI going to Willie Davis.

The Cubs pulled even in the second. George Mitterwald singled, stole second, stopped at third on a single by Rick Reuschel and scored on a wild pitch by Steve Renko. In the eighth, Rick Monday singled, Jose Cardenal doubled and Vic Harris drew an intentional pass to load the bases before Madlock decided the game with his long fly to center field.
