With about 40 of his hometown relatives and friends from Decatur, Ga., on hand, Mike Ivie collected six hits and batted in four runs to help the Padres defeat the Braves in a twi-night doubleheader, 7-3 and 8-1. The Padres locked up the lidlifter when Ivie and Dick Sharon each hit a two-run double in the fifth inning. Darrell Evans had a homer for the Braves.

Ivie drove in two runs in the nightcap, Dave Winfield accounted for two and Willie McCovey contributed a homer to the Padres' attack. Earl Williams saved the Braves from being shutout by hitting for the circuit in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
