Pinch-hitter Mike Jorgensen lofted a single over the drawn-in outfield with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth inning to nudge the Mets past the Cardinals, 2-1. Craig Swan went the distance for the Mets and was the beneficiary of the last-inning rally which started with a single by Steve Henderson. Joel Youngblood drew a walk and Alex Trevino was safe on a perfectly placed bunt, loading the bases and setting the stage for Jorgensen's single to right. [The Sporting News]
