Pinch-hitter Von Joshua singled in the ninth inning, scoring Willie Crawford from second base, to give the Dodgers a 4-3 victory over the Cubs. The Dodgers' first three runs of the game off Burt Hooton all were unearned. The Cubs picked up a run off Tommy John in the fourth on a walk to Billy Williams and double by Jose Cardenal. Two-baggers by Carmen Fanzone and George Mitterwald added a tally in the fifth before Williams tied the score with a homer in the sixth.

Horacio Pina was on the mound in relief for the Cubs when Crawford singled in the ninth. Bill Russell sacrificed. Joshua then batted for Charlie Hough, who was the winner in relief, and ended the game with his single. [The Sporting News]
