Billy Williams drove in four runs in support of Ken Holtzman, who allowed only four hits and pitched the Cubs to an 8-1 victory over the Expos. Williams homered with a man on base in the third inning and batted in two more runs with a bases-loaded single in the fourth. Ron Santo followed with a two-run double. Ernie Banks accounted for the Cubs' final pair with a single in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
