Driving home three runs with a double and single, George Hendrick paced the Cardinals to a 7-3 victory over the Braves. The two-bagger capped a three-run fourth inning and Hendrick's single drove home the first run of a three-run seventh, which was climaxed by a two-run homer by Ken Oberkfell, his first major league round-tripper.
