1.   And another, and soon, a wild pitch, and the tying run was crossing the plate.

2.   Another run crossed on a pitch that eluded catcher Charles Johnson.

3.   Another run would cross in the fifth on yet another double, this time off the bat of Mike Stanley.

4.   A seventh-inning error allowed four unearned runs to cross the plate, and, of course, the offense grounded into two more double plays.

5.   Fonville simply failed to glove a perfect throw on a force play at second, and an unearned run crossed the plate on the error.

6.   Galas beat the throw with a slide and the tying run crossed.

7.   Had the ball been ruled trapped, the winning run would have crossed for the Mets.

8.   One run crossed the plate on a suicide squeeze, the hit-and-run plays were frequent, and three bases were stolen.

9.   Tino Martinez stretched and dived and still did not touch the ball so the fourth run crossed.

10.   Two more runs had crossed in the fourth inning, with Offerman driving home one with a single, Jeff King plating the other with a sacrifice fly.
