Although going hitless, Ron Santo drove in two runs with a forceout and sacrifice fly to help the Cubs defeat the Dodgers, 3-2. A single by Glenn Beckert, error by Wes Parker on a grounder by Billy Williams and Santo's forceout of Williams gave the Cubs their initial run in the fourth inning.

Singles by Chris Cannizzaro, Johnny Callison and Bill Hands added a tally in the seventh. After the Dodgers pulled even, Paul Popovich singled for the Cubs in the eighth, took third on a single by Williams and scored the winning run on Santo's sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
