AFR Game of the Week

I decided to go ahead and play Steve Tower's Game of The Week challenge. I don't have any Dodger/Mets games coming up for any projects I've currently got underway so I decided to start a mini-project. I have the cards for Statis Pro Baseball for the 1988 season. Naturally, the Dodgers beat the A's in a World Series stunner, but even before going to the World Series, the were underdogs in the NLCS vs the Mets. The Mets won 100 games that year which was 6 more than LA, but the Dodgers won the series in 7 games.

 In Game 1 of my replay, the Dodgers got a clutch Mike Marshall homer in the first to jump out to a 2-0 lead vs Dwight Gooden. With Hershiser on the hill for LA, runs would be a premium. New York was able to scratch out a run in the second however after which both pitchers put up zeroes until the bottom of the 6th when the Dodgers scored two more. The Mets were able to break through for another run in the 8th off Orel to make it 4-2, but couldn't score in the 9th despite bringing the tying run to the plate vs closer Jay Howell.

 Orel Hershiser was the star for the Dodgers going 8 innings and giving up two runs in the win. At the plate, John Shelby had a great day, going four for four including a double. Mike Marshall hit the only homer and the Mets were held without an extra base hit. The Kid, Gary Carter, was the Mets offensive star going 2 for 3 with a walk.

 Game 2 will feature Tim Belcher throwing the first pitch for the Dodgers, while David Cone will take the mound for the visiting Mets.  Dodgers 4, Mets 2

 Dodgers 4, Mets 2
