A squeeze bunt by Mike Sadek with the bases loaded in the ninth inning capped a two-run rally and enabled the Giants to edge the Reds, 4-3. Jack Clark began the uprising with a one-out single. Willie McCovey also singled, sending Clark to third. McCovey took second on the throw.

Pedro Borbon replaced Woodie Fryman and passed Gary Thomasson intentionally. Tim Foli, who had hit a homer earlier in the game, singled, driving in Clark. Sadek followed with his squeeze bunt. [The Sporting News]
