Pinch-hitter Zoilo Versalles, swinging at the first pitch thrown to him by Ray Newman, connected for a homer in the ninth inning to give the Braves a 5-4 victory over the Cubs. The Braves also had a homer earlier in the game by Earl Williams, while Ron Santo hit for the circuit with two men on base for the Cubs. Billy Williams had two hits and raised his major league career total to 2,000.
