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.

with lots of surprises. Make modifications
now; it'll be more difficult later.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5
