Subject: 1987 Opening Day at Shea Stadium

In 1987 the Mets and Cubs have already opened their seasons, but Opening Day in the Big Apple is always special.

This game featured two lefthanded starting pitchers - one prolific (Sid Fernandez) for the home team, and one a journeyman (Tim Conroy) for the Cubs.

The Cubs immediately started off strong - hitting HRs in each of the first 3 innings.

1st inning - solo HR by Bob Dernier led off the game. Cubs 1, Mets 0

2nd inning - 2-run HR by Jim Morrison scored Juan Beniquez; Mets followed with RBI double by Strawberry and an RBI single by Dick Schofield. Cubs 3, Mets 2

3rd inning - 2-run HR by Jody Davis plated Ryne Sandberg and an RBI double by Morrison scored Beniquez again. Cubs 6, Mets 2

After Fernandez (4 IP, 10 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) allowed an unearned run in the 4th, his day was done. Both team's pitchers settled down somewhat in the middle innings, and the Mets led 7-4 going into the 7th inning. In the bottom of the 7th, NY pulled within 1 run on a 2-run big fly by Howard Johnson which scored Kevin McReynolds. Cubs 7, Mets 6

Tim Conroy finished the 7th inning (7 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, 6 BB, 3 K), but his game numbers indicated he was more lucky than good.

The Cubs added key individual unearned runs in the 8th and the 9th inning so that the Mets came up to bat in the bottom of the 9th trailing 9-6.

Bob James was summoned to close things out, and despite a long solo blast by Darryl Strawberry and consecutive hits by Gary Carter and PH Lee Mazzilli, James successfully induced PH Len Dykstra to loft a harmless flyball to end the game.

Final score on Shea's Opening Day was Chicago 9, New York 7.



The remainder of the series went as follows...

G2 Mets 5, Cubs 1 (WP- M.Scott, LP- M.Witt) HR- Schofield
G3 Cubs 8, Mets 7 (WP- J.Moyer, LP- D.Cone, SV- B.James) HR-Durham (2)*, Strawberry
G4 Mets 4, Cubs 3 (WP- R.Myers, LP- B.James) 10 innings
HR- Sandberg, Durham, McReynolds, H.Johnson**

*Durham was 5-for-5 with a double and 2 HRs in G3.
**In G4, Johnson hit a game-winning 1-out solo HR to help the Mets come all the way back for a win after a 3-0 7th inning deficit.

In the split of the series, here were the combined line scores-
Chicago 21 40 3
New York 20 38 6

Leading hitters -
Chicago
Durham 9-for-14, 2 2B, 3 HR, 3 RBI
Sandberg 7-for-18, 2 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI
Dernier 3-for-6, 1 HR, 1 SB
Beniquez 3-for-3, 3 2B
Morrison 2-for-3, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 BB

New York
Strawberry 5-for-13, 2 2B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 4 BB
Schofield 5-for 13, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB
McReynolds 5-for-13, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 5 BB
Teufel 6-for-11, 2 RBI
H.Johnson only 3-for-16, but 2 HR, 4 RBI, and 3 BB.

These were some entertaining games, and I have a feeling both of these teams will be near the top of the National League in runs scored.

Files will be sent to Jon and Alan.
