Don Kessinger, who arrived late and entered the game in the second inning after getting a weekend pass on military duty, drove in a run with a double in the seventh to give the Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. Ken Holtzman, who pitched the route for the Cubs, had trouble in the first inning, loading the bases with one out, but the lefthander escaped with only one run scoring on a forceout by Andy Kosco. Jim Hickman tied the score with a homer in the second. Billy Williams walked to open the seventh, advanced on a sacrifice and crossed the plate on Kessinger's two-bagger. [The Sporting News]
