NL Play In Game: Jints bounce Braves 7-2

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.
