Sunday July 6, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Winding up the longest game in the major leagues this season, Omar Moreno drove in a run with a single in the 20th inning to give the Pirates a 5-4 victory over the Cubs. Dave Parker homered for the Pirates, who had a 4-2 lead before the Cubs rallied to tie the score with a circuit clout by Bill Buckner in the eighth inning and by Cliff Johnson in the ninth.

Cubs' relief pitchers held the Pirates hitless for a stretch of 12 2/3 innings before Lee Lacy singled with one out in the 19th. Lacy was stranded, but in the 20th Ed Ott singled and moved up on a sacrifice by Dale Berra. Pinch-hitter Willie Stargell was passed intentionally, giving Moreno his opportunity to become the Pirates' hero. The Cubs used 23 of 24 available players, while the Pirates called on 20.
