It was only in the 19th that the Mets brought in starter Ron Darling. They had run out of relievers because Orosco and McDowell had only pitched 2/3 of an inning each.

The best part of that game was Rick Camp's homer with 2 outs in the bottom of the 18th. A pitcher with a career average of .074 tying the game.
There was also a 90 minute rain delay before the game and some fans stayed for the fireworks display after the game. Nothing like 4 am fireworks on the 4th/5th
