. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Bill Madlock, who tied the score with a homer in the ninth inning, drove in another run with a double in the 10th to give the Cubs a 6-5 victory over the Giants. The Cubs, after scoring three runs in the first on singles by Rob Sperring and Madlock, a walk, double by Jerry Morales and sacrifice fly by Manny Trillo, were leading, 3-1, going into the seventh when the Giants rallied for four runs on three singles, a walk and two errors.

The Cubs pulled back within one run in their half on a single by Jose Cardenal, a stolen base, passed ball and infield out by Rick Monday. After Madlock's homer sent the game into overtime, Don Kessinger walked in the 10th, Geoff Zahn sacrificed and, after an intentional pass to Cardenal, Madlock hit his game-winning double.
