Two home runs by George Hendrick led the Cardinals to their fourth straight victory, 7-6 over the Cubs. Hendrick's first round-tripper was a solo blast that opened the scoring in the second inning. His second homer came with the bases empty in the seventh and snapped a 6-6 tie. The Cubs took a 6-5 lead in the fifth on a run-scoring groundout by Bump Wills and RBI singles by Junior Kennedy and Keith Moreland before the Redbirds tied the game in the bottom of the frame on Dane Iorg's RBI single.
