Right fielder Lee Lacy dropped a line drive by Dave Concepcion with two out in the ninth inning, enabling Pete Rose to score the go-ahead run and help the Reds defeat the Dodgers, 5-4. Rose reached base with a one-out walk and advanced to second on an infield out.

After Lacy committed his error, Dan Driessen singled home what proved to be the winning run. The Dodgers touched reliever Doug Bair for a run in the ninth on singles by pinch-hitters Vic Davilillo and Rick Monday and a sacrifice fly by Davey Lopes, but Bill Russell lined into a double play to end the game.
