Making an almost unbelievable comeback, the Braves overcame a nine-run deficit and won a wild game from the Cardinals, 15-12. The Cards took a 10-1 lead by exploding for nine runs in the fourth inning. Bake McBride smacked a three-run double. Dave Rader, who went 5-for-5 playing instead of Ted Simmons, hit two singles during the outburst, each driving in a run. The Braves began their comeback with three runs in the fifth on doubles by Jerry Royster and Rowland Office and a homer by Jeff Burroughs.
