On September 13, 1998 ā€” Sammy Sosaā€™s ninth-inning homer in the bottom of the ninth off Eric Plunk helps to tie the game at 10 runs apiece in the Cubsā€™ eventual 11-10 extra-inning victory over Milwaukee at Wrigley Field. The round-tripper, his second of the contest, is the Chicago right fielderā€™s 62nd of the season, to pass Roger Marisā€™s single season mark and ties him with Mark McGwire for the leagueā€™s lead, Sosa also eclipses a National League record for the most home runs hit at one park by one player set by Ted Kluszewski when he hits his 35th Wrigley Field round-tripper, surpassing the former Reds first basemanā€™s total at Crosley Field in 1954.Ā  Sosa also ties the National League record of 10 multi-homer games in a single season set by Ralph Kiner in 1947.Ā
