NLCS Game 7
10/17
Valenzuela v. Darling

Neither starter won their previous outing, but both pitched well. LA has to feel good with the ace back on the mound for game 7, fully rested and ready to go. Same could be said for Darling, who hasn't pitched since game 2. Reuben Sierra was activated off the DL and is starting in LF for the Mets.

5-4 Mets over Dodgers

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

What a game, what a series. There were 4 lead changes in this 7^th game of the NLCS, and in the end, the Mets were the ones in front when it ended. The Dodgers, who hadn't had much power in this series found 3 HR's tonight. Scioscia got LA on the board in the 3^rd with a solo shot. The Mets took advantage of 3 unearned runs in the 4^th to go up 3-1. Two errors, both by SS Tony Phillips helped the Mets. LA came right back in the 5^th to shut the fans up. Ray Knight lead off with a solo homer, Scioscia singled, then Phillips made amends with a 2-run homer to put LA in front 4-3. Valenzuela pitched the entire game and threw 144 pitches, walked 3 and struck out 5. In the 6^th the Mets broke through and tied it up after Gerald Young singled and stole 2^nd. Dykstra singled him in. It all came to a head in the 7^th though. Strawberry walked to lead off, Mitchell grounded out, moving the runner over. Bonilla was intentionally walked, then Valenzuela got Ashby to strike out swinging. Carmelo Martinez, who had been pretty much useless to the Mets all series came off the bench, while Lasorda didn't play the match up and left Fernando in there. The count ran to 3-0, and with the green light, Martinez singled over the shortstop. Strawberry hustled around the corner and scored the go ahead run. LA started off the 8^th with a Lynn single, but Inky was doubled up. That would be the last runner LA would have. Randy Myers came on in the 9^th to close out the game, and the series for the Mets. Kevin Mitchell, not Dwight Gooden was selected as the series MVP.
