The Cubs piled up 17 hits, 11 for extra bases, and thrashed the Giants, 14-4. A double by Dave Kingman, triple by Steve Ontiveros and double by Jerry Martin produced two runs in the second inning and third-inning doubles by Ivan DeJesus and Bill Buckner added another tally.

Martin connected for a solo homer in the sixth. The first nine batters in the seventh reached base safely as the Cubs plated eight runs in an explosion highlighted by a two-run single by Kingman and two-run double by Barry Foote. [The Sporting News]
