Hank Aaron's RBI single and Dusty Baker's sacrifice fly in the ninth boosted the Braves to a 9-7 decision over the Padres, who had battled back to tie the game at 7-7 after trailing at one point, 7-2. The Braves snapped a 2-2 tie with a five-run fifth inning, helped by four walks and an infield error. The Padres got one back in the bottom of the fifth, another on Willie McCovey's homer in the sixth and three more in the eighth to tie the score, two runs counting on Nate Colbert's single. In the ninth, Mike Lum singled and was replaced by pinch-runner Leo Foster. Darrell Evans, who had homered for the Braves' first run in the opening inning, drew a walk and Aaron greeted reliever Vicente Romo with a single. [The Sporting News] |
