Notes & reviews

there had been threatening pitches in the game one day earlier; the first pitch in this inning hit Dwight Gooden on the knee; Gooden, who had already hit two Phillies earlier in the game, took off his helmet and charged the mound; he was tackled and repeatedly punched by Phillies catcher Darren Daulton; a 20-minute melee erupted; 2B umpire Joe West threw Phillies pitcher Dennis Cook to the ground and HP umpire Randy Marsh considered asking for help from the police; Phillies ejections: Pat Combs, Dennis Cook, Darren Daulton, coach Mike Ryan; Mets ejections: Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Tim Teufel; all ejections by Marsh
No sacrifice on this bunt
