| Terry Whitfield's fourth single of the game scored Vic Harris with two out in the eighth inning and brought the Giants a 6-5 victory over the Reds. Pinch-hitting for Gary Lavelle, Harris beat out an infield tap and took second on a sacrifice by Derrel Thomas. After advancing to third on an infield out, Harris crossed the plate on Whitfield's hit. [The Sporting News] |
