In an action-packed ninth inning, the Reds broke a tie with four runs and then stood off a three-run rally by the Braves to gain an 8-7 victory. Marty Perez hit a homer with two men on base for the Braves and Johnny Bench connected with one aboard for the Reds to help forge a 4-4 tie. In the ninth, Phil Gagliano started the Reds' outburst with a single and when Pete Rose bunted, both runners were safe on a late throw to second. Bobby Tolan singled to drive in pinch-runner Gene Locklear. After Bench walked to load the bases, two runs scored on a single by Tony Perez. Cesar Geronimo followed with a sacrifice fly to plate what proved to be the winning run.
