The Brewers broke their club season attendance record and marked the occasion by defeating the White Sox, 5-4, on a homer by George Scott in the ninth inning. The crowd of 18,944 pushed the Brewers' gate total to 936,923, surpassing the former mark of 933,690 in 1970.

The White Sox had a chance to break the game apart in the top half of the ninth, but had to settle for one run that tied the score at 4-4. Eddie Leon walked and Johnny Jeter singled, bringing Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound in relief. Pat Kelly singled, scoring Leon, and Jerry Hairston walked to load the bases with none out, but Rodriguez then retired the side without another run scoring. Bill Melton and Carlos May lined to second baseman Pedro Garcia and Bill Sharp grounded out. [The Sporting News]
