Elrod Hendricks hit his first two homers in a Cubs' uniform to lead the way in a 14-3 victory over the Padres. Hendricks and Carmen Fanzone homered on successive pitches by Bill Greif in the fourth inning. Rick Monday, the Cubs' next batter, was decked and engaged in an argument with catcher Pat Corrales, leading to a fight and a general free-for-all. Monday and Corrales were ejected by the umpires.

Hendricks' second homer came with two men on base and featured a nine-run outburst in the seventh. Billy Williams batted twice during the Cubs' biggest inning of the season and drove in three runs with a pair of singles. [The Sporting News]
