Saturday July 10. The Cubs scored 4 times in the first, including two on a Joe Pepitone homer (5). Fergie Jenkins (13-5) didnt need any more, but he forgot to tell the Cubs hitters. The Cubbies pounded out 9 more runs including a two run homer by Williams (17) and a solo shot by Jim Hickman (15). However, the highlight of the game came in the top of 8th. Jekins had already struck out three times when he came to the plate with no outs and the bases loaded. Dick Kelley threw a high fatball and Jenkins ripped it t left. Shortstop Enzo Hernandez made a diving catch and flipped the ball to Dave Campbell at second to get Brock Davis and then Campbell whipped the ball to third baseman Gerry Jestadt to retire Pepitone for a TRIPLE PLAY. Freddie Norman took the loss (2-4) Cubs 13 Padres 1
