In a wild ninth inning, the Padres scored four runs and defeated the Giants, 9-5. John Morris, relieving Elias Sosa with the bases loaded, walked pinch-hitter Nate Colbert to force in the tie-breaking tally and uncorked a wild pitch to allow another run to score. After Butch Metzger took over, the Padres reloaded the bases on a pass to Randy Elliott and added their last two tallies when Fred Kendall walked and Bill Almon singled. [The Sporting News]
