Although a crowd of 25,332 turned out to watch Gaylord Perry defeat the Padres, 3-2, for his 23rd victory, the Giants ended their home season with an attendance of only 740,720, a decline of 132,883 from 1969.

The Giants were trailing, 2-1, when Ken Henderson singled in the sixth inning and stole second. After Willie McCovey popped up, Dick Dietz walked and Al Gallagher drove in Henderson with a double to tie the score. Following an intentional pass to George Foster, Dietz counted the winning run on an infield out by Bob Heise. [The Sporting News]
