Playing before an Old-Timers' Night crowd of 34,060, the Braves scored on a pass with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and defeated the Mets, 4-3. The Mets scored twice in the first, one run coming on a homer by Rusty Staub, but the Braves picked up a matching pair in their half on a circuit clout by Ralph Garr, double by Darrell Evans and single by Dusty Baker. A single by Vic Correll, high throw by Tom Seaver to second on a bunt by Carl Morton and single by Garr sent the Braves ahead in the second, but the Mets caught up in the ninth when Cleon Jones singled and scored from second with two out on a single by Jerry Grote.

In the 10th, Evans singled off Bob Miller. Hank Aaron flied out, but Baker singled Evans to third and took second on the throw. Miller passed Mike Lum intentionally and retired Frank Tepedino on a pop-up before walking Norm Miller to force in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
