| Ryan K's 11 in doubleheader sweep of Expos |
A doubleheader against Montreal started off with Jim
McAndrew taking the hill for the Mets. 11 innings later he was still out there
in a 2-2 ballgame. He would not get the win however, as It took New York
another inning to beat the Expos, 3-2, making a winner of reliever Ron Taylor.
Ken Boswell’s walkoff single ended the game in the 12th. As this was
happening the Cubs were losing in Philadelphia.
By the time Game Two started the Mets were in 1st
place for the first time all season, by .5 game.
In the second game Nolan Ryan K’d 11 and cruised to a 7
nothing whitewashing of the expansion Expos. New York broke it open in the 3rd
with six runs. Wayne Garrett, Cleon Jones and Boswell all hit RBI singles as
part of the six hit-six run inning.
At the end of the day New York (84-57) was up by 1 over the
Cubs (84-59).
