| Two homers by Steve Henderson and the six-hit pitching of Pat Zachry sparked the Mets to a 9-2 triumph over the Braves. The Mets jumped to a 4-0 lead in their first turn at bat on a walk, singles by John Stearns and Mike Jorgensen and three-run round-tripper by Henderson. The second homer by Henderson came with the bases empty in the sixth. Lee Mazzilli capped the Mets' scoring with a two-run homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News] |
