Dave Concepcion bobbled a grounder by Gaylord Perry with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, enabling the Giants to defeat the Reds, 2-1. Ken Henderson opened the stanza with a single and Dick Dietz sacrificed. After Ron Hunt beat out an infield hit, the Reds walked Bob Burda intentionally. Perry followed with his grounder on which Henderson scored. Concepcion's fumble prevented a possible double play, but no error was charged because Perry was thrown out at first base.
