| Kranepool's bat propels Seaver to 23rd win |
It was a pitcher’s duel in Montreal as Tom Seaver and Bill
Stoneman duked it out on the mound in game that only saw two runs scored. Seaver
was brilliant going all the way for the 9 strikeout complete game en route to
his 23rd win of the year. Eddie Kranepool was Stoneman’s nemesis in
this game. He drove in both Mets run-an RBI single in the 1st and a
solo HR in the 6th.
As the Mets dream September marched on, the Cubs nightmare
month continued, as the fell to the Phillies at Wrigley. Heading into the final
two weekends of the season New York (91-58) now held a commanding 5 game lead
over Chicago (87-64). The battle in the wild, wild NL West continued however,
with just two games separating four teams-two of those four trailing by
just a half game.
