»September 15, 1997:
The Mets, 1–0 winners yesterday on a home run by diminutive Luis Lopez, use the long ball today to tie the Phils. New York collects four home runs in the 7th and 8th to tie at six apiece, the stitch six straight singles in the 10th to score five and win, 10–5. In the nitecap, the Mets lose, 2–1 to Darrin Winston, a 31-year-old rookie released by the Mets in the spring.
»September 16, 1997: In Philadelphia, Curt Schilling retires the first 22 Mets batters to lead the Phils to a 3–2 win. He also passes the 300-strikeout mark when he strikes out Edgardo Alfonzo in the 4th inning, just the 13th pitcher to reach it and the first in the National League since Mike Scott in 1986. Pinch-hitter Luis Lopez breaks up Schilling's bid for a no hitter with a one-out, single to center in the eighth.
