The St. Louis Wizards came down from an early 5-run deficit to take a 3-run lead into the 9th, but barely got the win after the Los Angeles Dynamos stranded the tying run on 3rd. LA’s Tony Gwynn belted a 2-run double during a 4-run 2nd inning against Don Sutton. Todd Helton hit a solo home run in the 3rd, and Gary Carter singled in another run to give LA an early 6-1 lead. A 2-run single in the 6th off Tom Seaver cut the lead to 6-3. While Sutton settled, Seaver struggled. Duke Snider started the scoring in a big 7th inning when he slugged a 2-run homer. Seaver walked Willie McCovey with the bases loaded to tie the game at 6. That’s when Mike Schmidt followed with a bases-clearing double to put St. Louis on top 9-6. Rich Gossage took the mound to close it in the 9th, but Chipper Jones doubled in Helton. Ed Delahanty followed with a single to put the tying run on base. After Pee Wee Reese popped out, Ron Santo singled to make it a one-run game, with Delahanty on 3rd. Gossage struck out Carter to end the game. With the loss, LA wasted a chance to close the gap in the NL race, falling back to 2-games behind Houston, who lost earlier in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
