Frank Reberger, who said, "I guess it was my best game of the year," pitched the Giants to a 5-1 victory over the Cubs. Five different Giants batted in a run apiece against Bill Hands, who had not been able to beat the 'Frisco crew in six decisions dating back to September, 1968. Reberger gave up six hits and yielded the Cubs' run in the fourth inning when Billy Williams singled and Joe Pepitone doubled. [The Sporting News]
