Although Joe Pepitone, Ron Santo and Billy Williams homered for the Cubs, Johnny Jeter came up with a more dramatic blow when the Padres rallied for four runs in the ninth inning to gain a 6-5 victory. Pepitone and Santo hit their homers in succession in the fourth. After Cito Gaston doubled in two runs to tie the score in the seventh, Williams hit a three-run homer for the Cubs in the ninth.
