The Cubs were forced into overtime in both ends of a twi-night doubleheader with the Padres but succeeded in winning the first game, 5-1, in 12 innings and the second game, 4-3, in 10 innings. The Cubs tied the lidlifter at 1-1 when George Mitterwald homered in the eighth. Dave Freisleben allowed only three other hits until the rookie righthander weakened in the 12th. With one out, Chris Ward singled, Don Kessinger doubled and Mitterwald drew an intentional pass to load the bases. Carmen Fanzone followed with a single to plate Ward with the tie-breaking run. Rick Stelmaszek hit a sacrifice fly to score Kessinger. Billy Grabarkewitz then capped the inning with a triple, driving in Bill Bonham, running for Mitterwald, and Fanzone.

The Cubs won the nightcap with an unearned run. Grabarkewitz singled in the 10th. Jose Cardenal grounded to Dave Hilton, who threw wildly to second trying for a forceout. Grabarkewitz took third on the error and continued across the plate when Derrel Thomas bobbled the throw from the outfield. [The Sporting News]
