With only one hit to show for 17 previous trips with the Expos this season, pinch-hitter Tommy Hutton drove in a run with a single in the 14th inning to beat the Cubs, 4-3. Bobby Murcer gave the Cubs a 3-1 lead with a two-run pinch-double in the 12th, but the Expos rallied to tie the score in their half on a single by Gary Carter, double by Chris Speier and infield outs by Del Unser and Dave Cash.

In the 14th, Warren Cromartie and Carter hit singles before Hutton, batting with one out, delivered his game-winning hit to present reliever Stan Bahnsen with his first victory of the season. [The Sporting News]
