Game 1: Mets jump out to a 7-2 lead, then throw it all away falling behind 13-8. Then pull within 1 and leave the bases loaded in the 9th. Game 2: Mets rally for 3 in the 9th - then Apodaca almost gives it back in the bottom of the frame. Game 3: Apodaca blows the save in the 9th Game 4: A 12 inning war of attrition ends with Apodaca's second consecutive loss.

The St. Louis fans enjoyed the offense provided by Smith. He cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 13th of the season) in the 3rd inning, doubled in the 4th inning and singled in the 5th inning. St. Louis lit up the scoreboard in the 4th inning when they had 6 runs on 8 hits. New York NL had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. Jim Crawford(4-1) got the win allowing 1 run in 2 and 1/3 innings. Crawford got help from Mike Garman who earned his 6th save. Ray Bare(4-3) was the losing pitcher. He got hit hard, allowing 15 hits and 2 walks in 3 and 1/3 innings. Derek Jones was in a talkative mood in the clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we could win all of the close ones - wouldn't that be nice! Since that's not going to happen, I think I'll savor this one for a little while.'

Johnny Bench next to the plate and he delivered a one-base hit. Billy Williams then slapped a single, and an error was also committed, driving home two runs. Mike Vail came up and he lined a base-hit scoring the final run of the inning. The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 8th inning. Bob Apodaca(2-3) was the winner allowing 1 run in 1 and 1/3 innings. Rich Hinton recorded his 2nd save. Ron Reed(3-8) was the loser. Reed was feeling apologetic in the locker room, 'I sure let that one get away. What a miserable feeling to let the guys down; and our fans. One minute things are looking great, then.
