GAME 27 - May 15, 1976 - "Just Wynn, Baby"

Braves 4, Expos 3 (14 Inn)
Steve Rogers vs Frank LaCorte
Once again Rogers pitches his heart out only to get a no decision.  For a while it actually looked like the bearded one was going to lose until Bruce Dal Canton gave up a 2 run single to Barry Foote in the top of the 8th.  Since both teams seem to be offensively challenged the game headed to extra innings where it became a war of attrition.  Chip Lang pitched a perfect 13th inning then got a quick out in the bottom of the 14th before walking Rowland Office.  Marty Perez doubled to put runners on 2nd and 3rd and the "Toy Canon" Jimmy Wynn hit a shot to the warning track to score Office easily to end a game that was played amidst a fine drizzle.
