A single by Bill Russell with the bases loaded in the 10th inning enabled the Dodgers to edge the Giants, 3-2, and gave reliever Charlie Hough his seventh victory without a defeat this season. Ron Cey led off the stanza with a single and moved up on a sacrifice. After an intentional pass to Dusty Baker, pinch-hitter Manny Mota was safe on an error to fillthe  sacks for Russell's game-winning hit off Gary Lavelle. [The Sporting News]
