Mets continue to amaze, take two on the road By Ben Walker The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Once Rick Ankiel zinged the first pitch of the game to the backstop, it was bound to be a wild one at Busch Stadium. And it was, with the New York Mets again finding a way to win at the end./ With Ankiel out of control, the Mets took control of the NL champi onship series. Jay Payton hit an RBI single in the ninth inning and New York beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 Thursday night for a 2-0 lead. The Mets won for the fifth straight time in this postseason, with three of them coming in their final at-bat. And this one was helped by an er ror from a first baseman. Sound familiar? “It’s amazing, but we keep com ing back,” Mets pitcher A1 Leiter said. “That’s kind of been the way we’re playing, very resilient.” An error by first baseman Will Clark on Robin Ventura’s two-hop grounder set up Benny Agbayani’s first sacrifice bunt of the season. Pay ton followed with a single off losing pitcher Mike Timlin. Clark’s misplay did not rival Bill Buckner’s error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, but the result was the same: Mets win. “It’s a very, very tough loss,” Car dinals manager Tony La Russa said. New York now returns to Shea Stadium for Game 3 Saturday, send ing Rick Reed to pitch against Andy Benes. The Mets’ victory also kept them on track for a Subway Series, mean ing they may not have to leave New York for the rest of the year. The Yankees and Seattle are tied at one game each in the ALCS. j Turk Wendell wound up with the win and Armando Benitez pitched the ninth for a save in a game that last ed one minute short of four hours. Leiter got a no-decision, leaving him winless in nine postseason starts. Timo Perez’s mad dash around the bases helped New York take a two-run lead in the eighth. The Mets’ late-season sparkplug singled with two outs, took off on Matt Morris’ full-count pitch and hustled home when Edgardo Alfon zo hit a soft single into the no man’s land of shallow right-center field. Todd Zeile greeted reliever Dave Veres with an RBI single for a 5-3 lead. The Cardinals came back to tie it in the bottom half, with a run scor ing on John Franco’s wild pitch and another on pinch-hitter J.D. Drew’s double. After pinch-hitter Mark I McGwire was intentionally walked, ■Wendell struck out Craig Paquette to end the inning. Bad omens abounded for Ankiel even before he took the mound. There was a full moon above the ballpark and former St. Louis star shortstop Ozzie Smith bounced the ceremonial first pitch. Then Ankiel suffered a melt down, the same kind that saw the 21-year-old rookie throw a record five wild pitches in an inning last week in Game 1 against Atlanta. Ankiel was mercifully pulled af ter getting only two outs in the first inning. He seemed to be biting his lip as he walked off to sympathetic applause, with fans no doubt won dering whether he had caught the same wildness disease that derailed Mark Wohlers and Steve Blass. Both teams sported new lineups for Game 2. Mets shortstop Mike Bordick, hit by a pitch in the right thumb a day earlier, did not start while Fernando Tatis, Shawon Dunston, Ray Lankford and Eli Mar rero started for St. Louis. Mike Piazza hit his third career postseason homer, a solo shot off rookie Britt Reames that put the Mets ahead 3-1 in the third. In the fifth, the Cardinals came back to tie it behind Edgar Renteria’s hitting and Ankiel’s cheerleading. Renteria, who had three hits and stole three bases, got it going by grounding an RBI double into the left-field corner. Ankiel led the shouting in the dugout, pumping his fist for emphasis. The sellout crowd of 52,250 in cluded Republican vice presidential nominee Dick Cheney^who spent the day campaigning in the Midwest. “I just wanted to come and watch the ballgame,” he said.
