Wed, 11 June, 7:30PM, at Roberto Clemente
Mets 9, Orioles 1
Bill Beauchesne (3-0, 0.74) carried a no-hitter into the 7th before a clean single to center by Chris Demers spoiled the bid. Beauchesne walked 1 and struck out 6 in the complete-game win. Beauchesne induced 14 ground-ball outs and was aided by strong infield defense, including a spectacular play by SS Dave McManus on a deflection off the glove of 3B Jason Joyce. McManus added a 2-run single and scored a run.
Kit Kadlec reached base 4 times with 2 hits and 2 walks. Jason Joyce drilled an RBI triple in the 2nd and scored 2 runs. Al Becker also scored twice.
For the Orioles, Chris Arenda was terrific in relief, allowing 3 hits and 0 earned runs with 8 strikeouts in 4 innings. The Orioles' run scored on a reverse-force double play on the game's final play. |
