Rusty Staub's single in the eighth snapped a 1-1 tie and the Mets went on to score three more times to beat the Cubs, 5-1. Staub delivered following two walks and a sacrifice. Ed Kranepool then singled home the second run of the frame. With two out, a passed ball and intentional walk loaded the bases. Jerry Grote beat out an infield hit for an RBI and winning pitcher George Stone capped the rally with a run-scoring single.
