. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Hitting his second double of the game, Warren Cromartie supplied the spark as the Expos scored two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Cardinals, 7-5. After Cromartie's two-bagger, Gary Carter walked. The next two batters went out, but Sam Mejias came up and delivered a single, scoring Cromartie with the tie-breaking run. Dave Cash followed with a single to plate Carter with an insurance tally. [The Sporting News]
