A slugfest marked by nine homers, the most in any game in N. L. this season, wound up in undramatic fashion when Joe Pepitone was hit by a pitched ball with the bases loaded in the 10th inning to force in the run that gave the Cubs a 10-9 victory over the Giants. Billy Williams and Ron Santo each hit two homers for the Cubs and Paul Popovich poked one. Santo's first circuit clout with two men on base in the third inning was the 2,000th hit of his major league career.
