Third baseman Steve Huntz broke a 1-1 tie with a bases-loaded single in the seventh inning to lead the Padres to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs. The Helmet Night sellout crowd of 49,599 was the largest ever to see a baseball game in San Diego.

Padre runs in the seventh came off Cubs' relief ace Darold Knowles. Johnny Grubb led off the inning with a single. With one out, Bobby Tolan was hit by a pitch and Dave Winfield walked to load the bases. Huntz then lined to center to score Grubb and Tolan. Mike Ivie's sacrifice fly scored Winfield. Dave Freisleben went the distance for his second straight complete-game victory over the Cubs. [The Sporting News]
