We finish up in Shea today.

The Mets are pitching Kevin Appier (4-1, 1.09).

The Giants have Frank Viola (3-2, 3.67).

I don't have much exposure to Appier, and less success, going 0 for 4.

I am hitting seventh.

I caught a Wally Joyner pop for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 1st.

I came up with one out in the 2nd and grounded out to Joyner at 1st.

We opened the scoring in the 3rd when Frank crossed on a sac fly by Ruben Sierra.

Giants lead 1-0

I took care of a Lenny Dykstra grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 3rd.

I came up with two out in the 4th and cracked that egg, reaching on a single up the middle.
Stolen base and 3rd on a throwing error by Greg Olson.
They intentionally walked Alan Cockrell to face Frank, who grounded out.

I took care of another Dykstra grounder to end the inning.

I came up in the 6th with two out and Mark Lewis on 1st. I flew out to Greg Vaughn on left.

Cal Ripken led off the bottom of the 6th with a home run to tie the game.
We turned a Thompson - Priske - Davis double play to get Kevin Mitchell and Mike Gallego to end the inning.

Game tied 1-1

Olson led off the bottom of the 7th with a homer to give the Mets the lead.

Mets lead 2-1

In the bottom of the 8th Vaughn scored on what should have been a double play ball by Olson, but I was taken out by Mitchell.

Mets lead 3-1

I led off the 9th, still annoyed by that play by Mitchell. Rick Aguilera was pitching. I scooted one through the right side for a single.
Alan hit into what would have been a double play but I returned the favour, breaking it up.

Unfortunately we couldn't score.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles and a stolen base.

We learned after the game that the team had signed vet Andy McGaffigan. He is going to the minors but has a major league option.

They also swapped Mutis and Lachemann again.

We are heading to Montreal.
