Sweeper antics thrill Braves fans before 12-2 Reds win
Johnny Bench sweeps the bases and wows 15,318 fans in Atlanta with wife-led softball antics before Cincinnati routs the Braves 12-2. Bench belts a two-run homer to end a slump, while Cesar Cedeno and Roger Metzger drive in two, and Houston, Oakland, and Kansas City win elsewhere. The Texas Open golf name changes to the San Antonio Texas Open, set for Nov 24 at Woodlake.
