Posting their sixth straight victory, the Braves edged the Giants, 5-4. The Braves trailed, 4-3, going into the bottom of the ninth inning when Mike Lum stroked a leadoff single and was replaced by pinch-runner Glenn Hubbard, who reached second on a sacrifice and scored on a pinch-single by Biff Pocoroba, who took second on the throw home. Barry Bonnell ran for Pocoroba and scored the game-winning run on a single by Rowland Office.
