The Mets went on to win it in the 11th inning. 3 to 2.

Returning from a night off, Piazza went 3-for-5 with two RBIs, including the run-scoring single off Luis Ayala (7-5) that gave the Mets three wins in the four-game series. New York also snapped the Nationals' 12-game winning streak in one-run games, three shy of the major league record.

Piazza came thru when it counted. this was tight from the get go. I had a feeling it would go extras and it did.

Damn these Nationals. Damn them. Stop winning! Losing to the Mets is a good start.
