Single greatest playoff game ever !!!

Back story
In my 1970 replay (had open draft with only real players), I managed my Padres to the best record in MLB.
In the playoffs, however, they were forced to take on the Mets, who took a two games to one lead in the series and had the Padres down 4-0 in Game 4 before the Friars rallied to force Game 5 in San Diego.
And this is how it turned out:
San Diego's Vida Blue throws eight no-hit innings, but neither team can score.
Finally in bottom of 18th, Padres load the bases with one out and win on a wild pitch to advance to the World Series against Baltimore.
The only thing matching Blue's incredible performance, was the horrible day had by Darrell Evans, who went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts.
This was truly something else.

Ma, that was have been intense. What a way to come back and win. I' rather have seen a base hit than a wild pitch but I'm sure the fans stormed the field nonetheless.

Poor Amos Otis leaving 8 runners stranded was a rough day as well!
