Ex Mets foe Henderson delivers Cubs past Mets in eighth
Ex Mets star Steve Henderson tripled home two runs in the eighth to lift the Chicago Cubs 3-1 over the New York Mets. Henderson, traded from Cincinnati to the Mets in the Seaver deal, then moved to the Cubs in the Kingman trade this spring. He said the pressure was lighter with Chicago and expected the Mets to walk Bill Buckner to get to him. Manager Joe Torre said he'd do it again under the circumstances. Ivan DeJesus started the eighth with a single and steal, setting up Henderson's game deciding hit. Reliever Dick Tidrow earned the win.
