The batting and baserunning of Mike Ivie highlighted the Giants' 4-3 victory over the Cubs. The first baseman, filling in for the injured Willie McCovey, had two hits, drove in a run and set up the winning run with a stolen base.

With the score tied, 3-3, in the eighth, Ivie singled with one out, stole second and scored on a double by Larry Herndon. The Cubs had tied the game in their half on Dave Kingman's eighth home run of the season. [The Sporting News]
