Ted Simmons hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded and none out in the 10th inning to bring the Cardinals a 4-3 victory over the Expos. With Fred Scherman on the mound for the Expos, Lou Brock singled, Don Kessinger walked and Bake McBride was hit by a pitch. Manager Karl Kuehl of the Expos then called on Dale Murray in relief and set up a five-man infield defense, but Simmons hit a long fly to right field.
