31.   A leadoff single by Mark Grudzielanek in the third resulted in a botched base-running scenario that ended with a perplexing double play but no runs scored.

32.   A lead-off single by Orsulak in the first inning and an infield hit by Stinnett were all the Mets could manage.

33.   A leadoff single by Duncan in the third was followed by a lineout to center by Jorge Posada and walks to Tim Raines and Wade Boggs.

34.   A run scored on that play, and a double by Edgardo Alfonzo and a single by Todd Zeile brought in the others.

35.   A run-scoring double by Luis Polonia chased Hill, and a two-run single by David Justice sealed the verdict.

36.   A run-scoring single by Mark Grace scored Sandy Martinez, but Rodriguez flew out to left field to end the threat.

37.   A Juan Gonzalez sacrifice fly tied the score, and a run-scoring single by Tom Goodwin put Texas ahead an inning later.

38.   A pinch-hit, infield single by Chip Hale, knocked down by the shortstop, Derek Jeter, drove home Marty Cordova with the lead run.

39.   A single by Brent Abernathy followed, but Pettitte struck out Cox.

40.   A single by Mabry and a walk to Pagnozzi was all Cox needed to see.
