McGraw Misreads Sign. Mets Drop Extra Innings Defeat
In New York, Tug McGraw uncorked a wild pitch in the 10th after misreading a sign, allowing Hal Lanier to score from second as the Giants beat the Mets 3-2. Lanier doubled to start the inning, Willie Mays contributed a single and triple, and Dave Marshall tied it with a two-run homer in the ninth. UPI report from Fred McMane notes Hodges was ejected after Mets protests, and the loss spoiled an otherwise dramatic Mets comeback.
