September 22, 2006: Mets 2 Nationals 1 (10)




The Nationals put together a 9th inning comeback in a tight game with the Mets, but it ends up all for naught when Carlos Delgado leads off the 10th with a walkoff home run.

El Duque was mowing down the Nats hitters all day, but fortunately the only Mets scoring had been a 4th inning home run by David Wright. In the 9th with Billy Wagner in, the Nats led off the inning with a Nick Johnson walk. Next up was Ryan Zimmerman, whose 17 game hitting streak was on the line since he was 0 for 3 with 3 K's. He doubles to extend the hitting streak but more importantly to put runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Jose Vidro grounds to the shortstop and I attempt to score on a 1-12 safe chance. It comes up a 14 so Johnson is out at the plate, but the Nats still have runners on 1st and 3rd with just one out. Brian Schneider then singles to score the tying run, but pinch hitters Brandon Harper and Ryan Church fail to come through and we go to the 10th where Delgado would win it for the Mets.

and what of Austin Kearns and his 21 game hitting streak? It crashes and burns in grand fashion, as Kearns goes 0 for 5 with 5 strikeouts!

The Mets win means that they keep their 1 game lead over the Phillies for the division.
