| Tug pitches Mets to victory |
Don Cardwell started and was outstanding over 7 1/3-allowing
2 runs while scattering 5 hits. Unfortunately, Giants starter Gaylord Perry was
his equal, also giving up 2 runs. Cardwell departed in the bottom of the 8th after
a Ken Boswell error loaded the bases. Ron Taylor came on and ended the threat
by inducing a double play ball from the bat of Jim Davenport.
The game remained
tied into the 10th when after retiring the first two batters of the
inning, Perry grooved one to Donn Clendenon, putting the Mets up 3-2. Tug
McGraw (7-2) then retired San Francisco in order to pick up the win.
New York (75-53) remained 4 games back of Chicago (82-52),
who won over the Braves.
