Falling behind by a run in the 10th inning, the Dodgers rallied for a pair in their half and defeated the Cardinals, 4-3. The Cards took the lead in the top half of the 10th on a sacrifice fly by Willie Crawford, scoring Vic Harris. The Dodgers began their comeback when Dusty Baker reached base on an error by Don Kessinger. Steve Garvey promptly doubled, driving in Baker to tie the score. Manny Mota, pinch-hitting for Glenn Burke, then singled to score Garvey with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
