Dave Priestly lines a hit to right center. Javy Fernandez strikes out. Lebron Williams flies out to the warning track in left. mark Parker drives one to the wall in left center and Larry Brown makes the catch, but drops it when he hits the wall! Parker has a double and Priestly scores! 1 to 0, Beavers! Danny Hernandez grounds out to 1st, unassisted.

Bottom of the 1st: Jesus Ramirez strikes out looking! Cary Gilreath lines an 0-2 pitch into left center for a hit. Larry Brown lines a hit to center and Gilreath heads to 3rd. Javy Fernandez makes a bum throw and Gilreath scores and Brown is at 2nd. game is tied up at 1. Howard Ammons lines out to 2nd. Tom Wilson hits a fly ball to right and Lebron Williams drops it for a 2-base error and Brown scores. 2 to 1, Mets. Manny Esquivel strikes out.

Top of the 8th: Still, 2 to 1, Mets and P Larry Gauthier still in there. Javy Fernandez leads off with a hit to center. New pitcher: RHP Ron Bell. Lebron Williams lines a hit to center. New pitcher: RHP Tommie Bowden. Mark Parker lines a hit to left and the bases are loaded with no one out. New pitcher: LHP Greg Weber. Pinch-Hitter: RHB Roger Aguilar. He strikes out looking on three pitches. New pitcher: RHP Ken Otis, the 5th pitcher for the 5th batter of the inning. There ought to be rules against this silliness. This inning is taking an hour with all the warm up pitches.... Jim Eighmy draws a walk to force in a run and the game is tied at 2! Stu Redman is up and they leave the same pitcher in! The first pitch to Redman is through the legs of C Bobby Pina for a passed ball and Williams scores! 3 to 2, Beavers!
