Coming from behind late in the game, the Mets pulled out an 8-7 triumph over the Braves in 10 innings. Trailing by two runs, the Mets tied the score in the seventh. A keadoff triple by Lenny Randle, who scored five times himself, and an infield groundout got the first tally home. Steve Henderson then singled and scored when Willie Montanez' blooper to left field fell in front of defensive replacement Barry Bonnell for a double.
