The 2nd game of my 'let's play two' tribute in honor of Ernie Banks was played last night and it was another extra inning affair. This game 'only' went 11 innings and again, Ernie Banks played a vital role in a Chicago Cubs victory. The Cubs trailed 4-2 entering the 9th when Ernie hit a 2 run homer sending the game to extra innings. Chicago scored 2 runs in the top of the 11th and held on for a 6-4 win.

Third baseman Ron Santo had 4 hits and scored 3 times as the Chicago Cubs
bested the New York Mets in 11 innings 6 to 4 at Shea Stadium.
The game was deadlocked at 4 after nine full innings. Chicago ended up

as he lined a base-hit. Santo came next and he ripped a single. Byron
Browne then doubled. One out later, Chris Krug came up and he hit a
sacrifice fly. Don Kessinger stepped into the box and was walked
intentionally. Overall Chicago out-hit New York 11 to 7.
