Long Blasts Give Braves 7-0 Victory
Hank Aaron hit his 711th career homer to move within three of Babe Ruth as the Atlanta Braves routed the San Diego Padres 7-0. Dave Johnson tied Rogers Hornsby for most homers in a season by a second baseman with his 42nd, and Marty Perez, Dusty Baker, and Johnson powered a four run eighth inning. Carl Morton earned the complete game win despite a crowd of only 1,362, the smallest in Atlanta since 1970. President of the Braves, Aaron’s three long balls, plus Perez’ solo shot, led the offense in a low-attendance contest. Virginia Tech football practice described as productive under coach Charlie Coffey.
