At the end of the day, the Cincinnati Reds had almost three times the hits the Chicago Cubs did (13 to Chicago's 5), but the Cubs would go on to win the ballgame, 7-2. During the 3rd & 5th innings particularly, the Cubs had the right hit at the right time, as the Reds' Jim O'Toole allowed 5 of his 6 walks allowed during those innings (his other walk was an intentional walk to Ron Santo in the 1st). It was during the 8th inning where the Cubs put the game away.
Up 4-1, with runners on 1st & 2nd with 2 outs, Billy Williams smacked a 3-run homer off Reds' relief pitcher Jim Brosnan.
The Reds' Frank Robinson collected 4 hits in a losing effort.
