Bobby Tolan raced home from second base on an error in the 10th inning to bring the Padres a 6-5 victory over the Astros. The game was forced into overtime when the Astros tied the score in the ninth with a single by Milt May and double by Ken Boswell that drove in pinch-runner Skip Jutze.

In the 10th, Tolan singled and moved to second on a balk by Wayne Granger. After an intentional pass to Hector Torres, Fred Kendall batted for Bob Davis and hit a grounder to shortstop Jerry DaVanon, who threw wildly to first base, allowing Tolan to cross the plate. [The Sporting News]
