Pastime.com: On a rainy night at Shea Stadium, the
seventh-inning line drive off the bat of Atlanta's Marty Perez strikes Jon
Matlack's forehead so hard that the ball ricochets into the Mets dugout.
Fortunately, the 23 year-old southpaw sustains only a hairline fracture of his
skull, and will return to the mound on May 19 to blank the Bucs for six innings
at Pittsburgh.
Here is the full list of Mets games played on May 8th.
