A homer by Hank Aaron in the 10th inning for his fourth hit of game carried the Braves to a 7-6 victory over the Cubs. Aaron batted in a run with a single in the first and then singled again ahead of a homer by Orlando Cepeda in the sixth. Aaron and Rico Carty, who hit safely in his 29th straight game, each rapped RBI singles in the seventh, but a homer by Johnny Callison with a man on base tied the score at 6-6 in the Cubs' half.
