Pushing across a run in the bottom of the 12th inning, the Dodgers outlasted the Cubs, 3-2. The score was 2-2 in the bottom of the 12th when Rudy Law cracked a one-out single.

He stole second, continued to third when catcher Barry Foote's throw sailed into center field and scored on a sacrifice fly by Joe Ferguson. The Cubs had deadlocked the contest in the seventh on a pinch-single by Lenny Randle. [The Sporting News]
