A single by Garry Maddox in the 13th inning scored Bobby Bonds and brought the Giants a 5-4 victory over the Braves. Bonds led off with a single and took second on an infield out by Tito Fuentes before Maddox stroked his single off the glove of first baseman Frank Tepedino for his third hit of the game.

An error by Chris Speier enabled the Braves to score three unearned runs on a homer by Darrell Evans in the third inning, wiping out the Giants' 2-0 lead. A double by Dave Kingman, an infield out and sacrifice fly by Bonds tied the count in the fifth, but the Braves went ahead again in their half when Dusty Baker walked and Hank Aaron doubled. Speier then made up for his error, hitting a homer in the seventh to tie the score and set up the overtime game. [The Sporting News]
