Jim Hickman hit a homer and a single, driving in four runs, and Billy Williams added two more with a homer to slug the Cubs to a 10-2 victory over the Reds. Hickman hit his homer after a single by Glenn Beckert and a pass to Ron Santo in the first inning. Hickman's single accounted for one of the Cubs' five runs in the third. Beckert, who had four hits, singled ahead of Williams' circuit clout in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
