. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Steve Ontiveros hit his first homer of the season to provide the Giants' deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the Braves. A triple by Derrel Thomas and single by Von Joshua gave the Giants their initial run in the third and Dave Rader doubled for two more tallies in the fourth before Dusty Baker homered for the Braves. After Ontiveros' circuit clout in the sixth, Earl Williams whacked a two-run homer in the Braves' half, but Randy Moffitt replaced Mike Caldwell and stifled the Braves on one hit over the last 3 2/3 innings.
