| Cleon Jones, who singled when the Mets scored their first run in the fourth inning, smashed a homer in the sixth to beat the Braves, 2-1. Art Shamsky doubled in the fourth, took third on Jones' hit and crossed the plate on a single by Ken Boswell. The Braves, who were held to five hits by Jim McAndrew, picked up their run on an unusual play after Sonny Jackson singled and advanced to third on a single by Orlando Cepeda. Rico Carty lined to Boswell. Jackson tagged up and raced home before Boswell could complete the double play on Cepeda with a throw to Donn Clendenon at first base. [The Sporting News] |
