After homers by Ralph Garr and Leo Foster produced their first four runs, the Braves added a pair in the ninth inning to edge the Cardinals, 6-5. A single by Craig Robinson and two walks loaded the bases before Frank Tepedino delivered a run-scoring single to break a 4-4 tie. Rowland Office followed with a sacrifice fly, driving in what proved to be the winning run, offsetting a homer by Jim Hickman in the Cardinals' half.
