sept 7 Phil Niekro tossed a complete game at Fulton Co. Stadium where the Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9 to 3. Atlanta brought 7 runs across the plate in the bottom of the 6th inning when they had 4 base hits. The critical plate appearance was by Joe Ferguson who brought the crowd to their feet when he lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 18th of the season). Atlanta banged out 12 on the night. The victory was credited to Niekro(16-17) who went the distance, allowing 3 runs. Rick Sutcliffe(12-10) was the losing pitcher. He was knocked around by Atlanta, allowing 9 hits and 6 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.

Los Angeles made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. Niekro(15-18) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. Tom Griffin(5-9) took the loss.

Stadium as the Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers by the count of 13 to 10. Horner was really 'in the zone'. He smacked a three-run homer in the 3rd inning and lofted a three-run bomb (his 31st of the season) in the 4th inning. Due to a poorly pitched ballgame, scoring in 5 different innings was still not enough for Los Angeles to come away with the victory. Rick Wise(17-11) got the win allowing 7 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings. Burt Hooton(12-8) was tagged with the loss. He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 4 innings of work.

Stadium. Los Angeles had 3 runs cross the plate in the 3rd inning when they had 3 base hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Don Sutton(11-13) and Los Angeles. That was all the run support Sutton required. Los Angeles ended up with 15 hits for the game while Atlanta had 8. Nino Espinosa(13-18) was the loser. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 9 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings.
