Ken Henderson, who had gone hitless in 11 straight trips against Braves' pitching, broke out of his slump with a single in the 13th inning to spark the Giants to a 5-2 victory. Chris Speier led off with a single and was automatically out when hit on the paths by the ball on a grounder stroked by Willie Mays, who received credit for a single. One out later, Dick Dietz walked. Henderson followed with his single to score Mays with the tie-breaking run. The Giants then iced their verdict with run-scoring singles by Tito Fuentes and Hal Lanier. [The Sporting News]
