Jim Hickman, Joe Pepitone and Johnny Callison drove in two runs apiece as the Cubs defeated the Expos, 8-4, to remain 1½ games behind the Pirates in the East division race. The Cubs, who were leading only 4-3, gained their victory with a four-run outburst in the eighth inning.

Billy Williams doubled, Ron Santo walked and Hickman drove in his second run of the game, hitting a single to score Williams. Pepitone also singled for his second RBI, scoring Santo, but Hickman was out trying for third. Callison, however, stepped up and smashed a two-run homer. Carl Morton, who was the loser, had the Expos' biggest blow, hitting a two-run homer in the third. [The Sporting News]
