We came him to win. Let's keep it going.

Today the Mets are pitching Kevin Appier (11-5, 2.32).

The Giants have John Burkett (6-11, 5.14).

I have gone only 1 for 10 against Appier.

I am hitting eighth.

I came up with one out in the bottom of the 3rd and flew out to Lenny Dykstra in centre.

Things went south in the 4th when John walked Junior Ortiz with the bases loaded.
Then Greg Vaughn scored on a wild pitch.

Mets lead 2-0

I came up with two out in the 5th and walked on four pitches.
Stolen base #47.
Rance Mullininks hit a pinch hit home run to tie the game.

Game tied 2-2

Darryl Scott took the mound for us to start the 6th.

The Mets got the lead right back when Dyksrta and Ortiz scored on a Tito Navarro single.

Mets lead 4-2

Mike Scott took over for us in the 7th.

I came up in the bottom of the 7th with one out and Ryan Klesko on 1st. I walked again.
We tied it back up by both scoring on a two out double by Robby Thompson!

Joe Boever took the ball for us in the 8th.

With one out in the 9th, Matt went to Bobby Thigpen.

I led off the bottom of the 9th, now facing Rick Aguilera. I grounded out to Jeffries, now playing 1st.

I caught a Rex De La Nuez pop for the first out in extras.

I made a GREAT play on a Shawn Abner grounder to get Ortiz trying to score.

Mark Ross took over on the mound for us in the 11th.

I came up in the bottom of the 11th with two out, Craig Greback on 2nd, and Kevin Brown on the bump. I was given the intentional walk.
It worked. We were left on.

Scott Service took over for us in the 12th.

In the bottom of the 12th, Craig led off with... a HOME RUN!

WALK OFF!

I went 0 for 2 with three walks, two runs scored, and a stole base.
