With two out in the 12th inning, the Dodgers put together singles by Steve Garvey, Rick Monday and John Hale for a run to beat the Mets, 4-3. After the first nine innings ended in a 1-1 tie, the Dodgers took the lead in the 10th with a two-run homer by Ron Cey, but the third baseman committed an error that enabled the Mets to tie the score in their half. Bruce Boisclair singled and scored on a triple by Lee Mazzilli. With two out, Cey muffed a grounder by Mike Phillips, allowing Mazzilli to score the tying run. [The Sporting News]
