Winding up a four-hour, 21-minute game, Pepe Frias batted in a run with a two-out single in the 14th inning to bring the Expos a 7-6 victory over the Cardinals. Forty players appeared during the course of the marathon, with the Cardinals using 21. The Expos erupted for five runs in the third, three scoring on a homer by Gary Carter, to take a 5-3 lead, but the Cards rallied for the tying pair in the fifth.

After both clubs counted in the 10th, Carter walked with one out in the 14th and was forced by Warren Cromartie. Carter jarred Mike Tyson on the play, with the result that the second baseman threw wildly to first, allowing Cromartie to advance on the error. The Cards then passed Andre Dawson intentionally before Frias drove in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
