June 8, 1983 the Chicago Cubs trail the New York Mets 1-0 into the bottom of the ninth inning in front of 14,284 Cubs fans in attendance. Ryne Sandberg’s solo home run ties the game and Keith Moreland’s RBI single driving in Leon Durham gives the Cubs a 2-1 walk-off victory. Lee Smith gets the win bringing his record to 1-2 for the season.
