September 28, 1976 at San Diego Stadium 

Reds 5, Padres 4  (100-58)

For the second straight season the Cincinnati Reds won 100 times during the regular season.  It was the franchise’s first back to back 100 win seasons in it’s storied history.  Jack Billingham walked away with the win despite Will McEnaney almost blowing the lead in the ninth.  Rawly Eastwick saved his 26th game of the season.

Doug Flynn had a big day, and at leadoff no less.  He went three for five two RBIs and a run.  Dave Concepcion had three hits and Tony Perez scored twice.
