Pinch-hitter Vic Harris drew a pass with the bases loaded in the 12th inning to enable the Cubs to walk off with a 2-1 victory over the Giants. Johnnie LeMaster singled off Willie Hernandez to open the 12th and when the Cubs' pitcher threw late to second on a bunt by Skip James, both runners were safe.

Following a sacrifice by Bill Madlock, an intentional pass to Terry Whitfield loaded the bases. Donnie Moore relieved and retired Darrell Evans but then walked Harris on a 3-2 pitch. [The Sporting News]
