06/03/1979 - Cubs Trip Giants in Extras on Kingman Walkoff Homer in 12th

For the home crowd, it was a thrilling walk-off win.

The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Wrigley Field, knocking off the San Francisco Giants, 6-4. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Dennis Lamp, who played a pivotal role in the win. At 25-26, the Cubs are currently 4th in the NL East Division.

The Cubs were down to their final out when first baseman Dave Kingman turned a 1-1 fastball from LHP Phil Nastu into a 3-run home run. The walk-off home run made the Wrigley Field crowd go wild.

"Dennis was pounding the zone," said Chicago manager.
