Jerry Morales singled in the 10th inning and batted in his third run of the game to bring the Cubs a 5-4 victory over the Mets. Morales' first two RBIs and a two-run homer by Andre Thornton gave the Cubs a 4-0 lead, but the Mets battled back to tie the score before a walk to Don Kessinger, a stolen base, infield out and Morales' single pushed over the Cubs' winning run in the 10th.
