A single by Jack Clark in the bottom of the 12th inning snapped a personal 0-for-11 slump and enabled the Giants to edge the Expos, 5-4. The game was tied, 4-4, when Mike Sadek opened the Giants' 12th with a walk and, after Rennie Stennett popped out, raced to third on a single by Enos Cabell.

A walk to Joe Morgan loaded the bases and brought on Steve Ratzer in relief of Bill Lee. Clark greeted the new hurler with the game-winning hit. The Giants had tied the score in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out pinch-single by Jim Wohlford. Al Holland pitched three hitless innings to earn the victory. [The Sporting News]
