Pittsburgh Defeated By Mets, 4-1
The New York Mets topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-1, in Virtual Baseball League action at Shea Stadium. The standout performance belonged to New York pitcher and Walnut Creek, California, native Randy Johnson. Johnson yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 3, and struck out 5. His record improves to 7-11. The Mets improved their record to 49-70 with the win over Pittsburgh.

Sean Casey had a big 2-run double for the Mets in the bottom of the fifth inning. With New York leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a slider from 25-year old left-handed pitcher Christian Bridenbaugh and swatted a double to right. It was his 24th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mets ahead, 4-0.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Johnson said.
