The Giants score seven runs in the fifth inning and beat the Braves 7-2 to advance to the playoffs. Up to that point Atlanta hurler Dick Ruthven had a 2-0 shutout going. An aging Willie Mays turned back the clock with a bases clearing triple that spelled doom for the Braves. John "the Count" Montefusco scattered 7 hit and allowed just 2 runs in 6 2/3 innings. Veteran reliever Don McMahon finished it up with 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. No rest for the weary as the Jints will fly to Cincy to face the juggernaut 30-8 Cincinnati Reds tomorrow in a best of 5 LDS.
