Saturday April 10, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Pat Zachry flirted with a no-hitter for 7 2/3 innings and Dave Kingman drove in five runs to pace the Mets to a 9-5 decision over the Cubs. The first hit off the New York righthander was a run-scoring pinch-single by Bob Molinaro with two out in the eighth. The Cubs went on to score three more runs in that frame and then kayoed Zachry in the ninth. Kingman drilled a three-run homer in the fourth frame. [The Sporting News]
