A wild pitch by Jerry Koosman on which two runs scored enabled the Cubs to complete a five-run rally in the eighth inning and defeat the Mets, 7-5. The Cubs, who were trailing, 4-2, counted the tying tallies on singles by pinch-hitter Scot Thompson, Ivan DeJesus, Bill Buckner and Dave Kingman. After Mike Vail fanned for the second out, pinch-hitter Gene Clines singled to score Rodney Scott, who ran for Buckner, putting the Cubs ahead.
