In a game which was suspended after five innings because of darkness and completed the following day, the Cubs defeated the Giants, 2-1.  The Cubs were leading, 2-0, when the contest was resumed. Chicago scored in the second inning when Jerry Morales doubled, moved to third on an infield out and came home on a single by Ken Reitz. In the third, Morales singled home Mike Krukow, who had singled and reached second on a passed ball. [The Sporting News]
