Catcher Vic Correll provided the principal batting support for Ron Reed, driving in three runs with a double and single to lead the Braves to a 5-3 victory over the Giants. Gary Matthews homered with a man on base and Glenn Redmon drove in a run with a double to account for the Giants' scoring in the fourth inning.

The Braves pulled even in their half. Hank Aaron batted in one run with a single and Correll plated a pair with his double. Davey Johnson sent the Braves ahead with a run-scoring single in the fifth and Correll added an insurance run with a single in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
