With the score tied, 6-6, after four innings, the Cubs and Giants settled down in a duel of relief pitchers until the 11th when Don Kessinger singled and raced home on a double by Glenn Beckert to bring the Bruins a 7-6 victory.

Jim Hickman homered with a man on base for the Cubs in the first, but the Giants scored three runs on a homer by Garry Maddox in the second and added three more markers in the fourth. The Cubs rallied for four runs in their half, two scoring on a homer by Ron Santo. [The Sporting News]
