| After batting in two runs with a triple in the second inning, Tim Foli came through with the game-winning single in the 10th as the Giants defeated the Braves, 4-3, for their fifth straight victory. With two out in the overtime stanza, Larry Herndon was hit by a pitch and stole second. The Braves passed Gary Thomasson intentionally to get at Foli, who wrecked the move with his single. Barry Bonnell, Braves' rookie center fielder, had a perfect 5-for-5 night at bat. [The Sporting News] |
