The Mets blew this series in agonizing fashion. We took a 5-1 lead into the 8th inning of game 1. With Skip Lockwood in the game to pitch the 8th: *** BOTTOM OF INNING 8 *** SUBSTITUTE P - Skip Lockwood 0 M.Schmidt 5 Walk b-1 0 1 R.Freed 6 Walk 1-2 b-1 0 12 G.Carter 5 Double 2-H 1-3 b-2 SUBSTITUTE P - Dave Tomlin SUBSTITUTE PH- Andre Dawson 0 23 A.Dawson 5 Triple 3-H 2-H b-3 SUBSTITUTE P - Rich Gossage 0 3 E.Valentine 3 Fielders Choice 3-H b-1 0 1 I.Dejesus 5 Pop Out b-0 1 1 M.Jorgensen 4 Walk 1-2 b-1 1 12 D.Kuiper 5 Strike Out b-0 SUBSTITUTE PH- Warren Cromartie 2 12 W.Cromartie 4 Ground Out b-0 Roger Freed hit the walk-off homer off the Goose in the bottom of the 9th. We scuffled back to take game 2 with a Bruce Boisclair pinch-hit 2-run homer to provide the big blow. New York lost game 3 when Pat Zachry gave up a pair of 2-run homers -- to Gary Carter and IVAN DE JESUS(!). Steve Rogers won his 22nd. With the Mets facing effective elimination in game 4, they jumped all over Frank Tanana for 8 runs in 5 IP (Game Score 16). Unfortunately, Steve Carlton was raked for 4 circuit clouts over 2+ innings -- including 2 by Roger F'ing Freed -- for a Game Score of 10. Warren Brusstar gave up 3 over the next two innings to put the game ultimately out of reach. Jon Fellows New York Mets 1976 NL East Champions "Meet the Mets.
