A pinch-single by Lee Mazzilli in the ninth drove home the winning run as the Mets edged the Cubs, 2-1. John Stearns began the bottom of the ninth with an infield single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Hubie Brooks. After Dave Kingman received an intentional base on balls, Mazzilli singled to left to chase Stearns home.
