With two away, Bill Buckner beat out a grounder in the 12th inning for his fourth hit of the game and John Hale followed with a homer to carry the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory over the Cubs. Buckner batted in two of the Dodgers' first three runs, while Bill Madlock had two RBIs for the Cubs, including a homer that tied the score at 3-3 in the eighth. Mike Marshall was the Dodgers' winner, pitching the last three innings and allowing only one hit in relief of Burt Hooton. [The Sporting News]
