Three Games vs the Cubs
9/27: Down 0-5 we got back to 4-5. In the 8th we left two runners on. In the 9th had a runner at 3rd with Henderson and Piazza up. Didn't score.
9/28: 6th consecutive loss. 2 errors and 2 wild pitches lead to 3 runs. Billy Ashley hits into a game ending double play. We've fallen a game behind the Astros.

**Ken Griffey jr hit his 62nd home run of the season, breaking Roger Maris' record.

9/29: Trying to end a 6 game losing streak against an on fire Greg Maddux is a tall task. We aren't up to it. 0-5 Maddux goes the distance giving up 3 hits. 7 straight losses, we're down 1 game with 4 left. Down 0-3 Pedro Martinez gives up a home run to Craig Biggio, then hits Jim Leyritz resulting in a brawl and suspension for Martinez. The Astros also lose, and we remain 1 game back.

Four Games vs the Giants
9/30: A lead! We have a lead! 2-1 in the 6th. A win! We won! 3-1!!!. Houston loses 5-4 to Atlanta. The Astros were off and now lead by half a game.
10/1: Another win. 7-3. Mark Langston complete game. Houston loses 3-0 to the Reds. We're up half a game!

Willie Wilson hit his 2500th career hit, a single off of Mike Maddux

10/2: Back and forth. Scoring in the first four innings. That's where the scoring stops for the Giants. Dodgers win 10-4. Cory Snyder has 6 hits, 3 doubles, a homer and 7 RBI in the last two games. Houston loses again and the Dodgers are up 1.5 games with a magic number of 1.
10/3: Houston loses in terrible fashion. Bottom of the ninth, 2-2, 2 out. The Reds' Mike Bordick doubles. Pinch-hitter Reggie Jefferson is walked. Kevin Young singles on a pop-up and the Astros' SS Luis Alicea commits an error allowing the game-winning, and season-ending-for-the-Astros, run to score. Just minutes before the Dodgers begin their game vs the Giants. The scrubs lose to the Giants 2-7 but

The Dodgers are the NL West Champions!

10/4: Not that it matters, but Houston wins 4-2, meaning the Dodgers finish 1 game ahead of the Astros.
Also, The Mets and Cubs finished with 99-63 records in the NL East.

10/6: Powered by a Mark Grace grand slam, the Cubs defeat the Mets 5-1 to win the NL East.
