Mets Win in Extras
New York left-hander Mickey Haefner made an effective start against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Shea Stadium, leading his team to a 4-3 win. The Mets bumped their record to 24-13 with this latest triumph.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Phil B Clark came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Pittsburgh pitcher Ricky Bottalico, he hit a 3-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 4-3.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Clark. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
