In what is now known as “The Sandberg Game,” Ryne Sandberg pulled a remarkable performance to bring Chicago back from the brink in this game with against St. Louis. Trailing by 6 runs in the sixth, Sandberg hit a two run single as part of a five-run rally by Chicago. Then Sandberg tied the game in the ninth with a leadoff home run, and finally, tied the game yet again in the tenth with a two-out blast.
