Baseball Reference: C Ronny Paulino collects a career high 5 hits in 7 at-bats in his first start for the Mets after serving out a 50-game suspension begun last season, and then spending time on the disabled list with anemia. His 14th-inning double drives in the go-ahead run in a 2 - 1 win over the Phillies. The win is overshadowed by chanting in the stands at Citizens Bank Park as media outlets announce the death of terrorist Osama bin Laden during the 9th inning. Starter Chris Young gives the Mets seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball, but Cliff Lee only gives up one run in 7 for the Phils, who tie the game with a run scored without the benefit of a hit in the 8th. Taylor Buchholz is the winner for the Mets in the marathon game, beating Kyle Kendrick.

Baseball Reference:
In the course of Pittsburgh's 8 - 0 shellacking of the lowly New
York Mets, in which the latter's total of 4 hits is equaled by Roberto Clemente, the Pirate right fielder
hits one ball, leading off the 4th, that the young Ron Swoboda, playing left field for the Mets
that day, will recall, some thirty years later, as "the hardest ball I
ever saw hit." Bucs beat writer Les Biederman concurs: "The first hit by
Clemente was one to remember. It started out on a line toward the right-center
fence and came within inches of clearing the wall
at the 436-foot sign. It bounced off the wall right back into rookie Billy Murphy's hands." "The ball got
there so fast, and bounced back to Murphy so hard," notes Dick Young of the New York Daily News,
"that the speedy Roberto got only two bases." "But," adds
Biederman, "the blast caused a rumble through the stands and no doubt
unnerved Jack Fisher."
