Staked to a 2-1 lead in the 7th, Hillman gives up RBI hits to Mariano Duncan (who extended his career-long 18 game hitting streak to 15) and John Kruk, but the Mets battle right back in the bottom of the inning thanks to a 2-out RBI single by the red-hot Todd Hundley. However, Hillman was pinch-hit for during the rally, so Dallas Green turned to Schourek to keep things tied in the 8th. After allowing a 1-out single to Wes Chamberlain, a 35-minute rain delay ensued. In a logical move, Dallas decided to stick with Pete, though that decision ended up haunting him in hindsight. Once play resumed, Milt Thompson hit a seeing-eye single and Kevin Stocker bounced a grounder that Kent made a nice play on, diving for the ball to keep it on the infield to prevent a run from scoring. But now the bases are loaded with 1 out for pinch-hitter Ricky Jordan, who on the first pitch delivers a sac fly to put Philly up 4-3. Dykstra follows by winning an 8-pitch battle against Schourek and collects 2 more RBI on a single, though the second run was more on Kent than anyone as he lollygagged the throw back into the infield after getting it from Jeromy Burnitz. That was it for Schourek, as Jeff Innis came in to strike out Duncan for the last out. The damage done, the Mets go down easy against David West in the 8th and Mitch Williams in the 9th, securing their 97th loss of the season.

Not much else to say about this one. Eddie Murray did finally collect his first hit in 23 career at-bats against Schilling with a first-inning single. But the feeling was pretty palpable that people just wanted 1993 to be over with already.
