Challenging Willie Stargell's arm, Mick Kelleher was able to score on a wild throw by the first baseman in the 13th inning to bring the Cubs a 7-6 victory over the Pirates, who fell back to a one-game lead over the Expos in the East division race. Kelleher reached base with a single off Don Robinson and advanced on a sacrifice by Bill Caudill. When Jerry Martin grounded to third baseman Bill Madlock, Kelleher started for third on the throw to first. "I knew Stargell didn't have a strong arm and I took a chance," Kelleher later explained. Stargell uncorked a return throw that sailed over Madlock's head, allowing Kelleher to score.
