New York Mets 7 at Houston Astros 6, F -- In one of the most thrilling LCS games ever, the Mets finally win this see-saw nail-biter to advance to the World Series. Starter Bob Knepper shut out New York for eight innings before the Mets broke through to tie in the ninth. They finally scored again in the top of the 14th, then watched as the Astros re-tied the game on a Billy Hatcher homer. In the 16th, the Mets pushed across three more runs, but again the Astros fought back. They scored more two runs to draw within one run before Jesse Orosco struck out Kevin Bass to send the exultant and exhausted Mets to the World Series.
