A crowd of only 1,119, smallest ever to attend a major league game in Atlanta, saw the Padres rally for five runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Braves, 10-9. Rowland Office and Dave May hit homers and Ed Goodson drove in three runs with a single and sacrifice fly as the Braves built up a 9-5 lead. The Padres' early scoring included a homer by Johnny Grubb.

Opening the rally in the ninth, Gene Locklear singled and scored on a double by Grubb. Hector Torres followed with a two-run homer. Bobby Tolan was safe on an error and counted the tying run on a double by Willie McCovey. Don Hahn came in to run for McCovey and, after two out, crossed the plate with the Padres' winning run when Dave Roberts singled. [The Sporting News]
