Friday May 29, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A three-run homer by Dave Kingman and route-going performance by righthander Mike Scott highlighted the Mets' 6-1 victory over the Cubs. The Mets scored twice in the third inning on a walk to Scott, double by Mookie Wilson and single by Bob Bailor. Wilson opened the fifth with a triple and, after an infield out, Mike Jorgensen drew a base on balls before Kingman followed with a round-tripper, his fifth in the last eight games.
