Expos Earn Clutch Win, 7-6 in Ten

The Montreal Expos beat the New York Mets, 7-6 -- though it took them 10 innings. Montreal center fielder Brian Schill had a pretty good game. He went 2-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. The 26-year old is batting .162-3-8 .524OPS in 22 games. The win has Montreal at 29-47.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Robby Weltzer came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing New York pitcher Ron Millett, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Montreal on top, 7-6. Weltzer has hit .270 since coming over via trade last month.

"The game is never over 'til it's over," said a jubilant Aaron McCreery, the Montreal skipper.
