the Cincinnati Reds to a 18-7
victory over the Montreal Ex-

The Reds led 5-4 when they
loaded the bases in the seventh
against Don Carithers, the sec-
ond Montreal pitcher, on a sin-
gle, a walk, a sacrifice and an
ittentional walk.
After Griffey drove in two
runs, Joe Morgan was walked
intentionally and George Foster
reached on an error- by second
baseman Pete MacKain. Foster
got an RBI on the play and a
second run earned on the error.
Dan Driessen capped the in-
ning's scoring with a sacrifice
fly to center.
