Wrecking the Braves' strategy, Ken Singleton knocked in a run with a single in the 10th inning to bring the Expos a 7-6 victory. Bob Bailey led off with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Larry Lintz. The Braves then passed Willie Davis intentionally, hoping to set up a double play, but Singleton spoiled the move with his winning hit.

The Braves shattered a 2-2 tie with four runs in the eighth. Hank Aaron doubled and gave way to pinch-runner Rowland Office, who scored on a double by Mike Lum. After a walk and hit batsman loaded the bases, Phil Niekro drove in two runs with a single. A wild pitch then admitted another counter. The Expos came back with a four-run rally to the tie the score in the ninth. A walk to Singleton and singles by Ron Fairly and Mike Jorgensen produced the first tally before Bob Stinson came to the plate as a pinch-hitter for Tim Foli and delivered a three-run homer.
