Cardinals Walk It Off for 81st Win of Season
The St. Louis Cardinals weathered a fine game by Chicago first baseman Greg Cox to upend the Cubs, 7-6, at Busch Stadium. Cox went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The win belonged to Duke Ekstrom in relief. His record improves to 3-5. Tatsuto Kobayashi took the loss for Chicago. St. Louis improves to 81-42 with the win. They lead their division by 12½ games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Walt Hedlund in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off fan favorite Tatsuto Kobayashi to win the game for St. Louis. The home crowd went nuts.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Hedlund. "And not try to do too much."
