Elliott Maddox singled in the ninth inning and scored Doug Flynn to give the Mets a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals. Flynn led off with a single. Pinch-hitter Claudell Washington flied out, but Flynn advanced to second on an infield out by Bill Almon, putting him in position to score on Maddox' hit. [The Sporting News]
