Oh, Darling…

GAME 4 - Shea Stadium
Mets 2, Yankees 1
Waite Hoyt vs Ron Darling
Game 1's rematch saw Yalie Ron Darling reverse his fortune with 7 2/3 innings of 1 run ball.  Once again Orosco would come on board for more than one inning to notch the save.  As was the case the previous day the Bronx Bombers took a 1 run lead, but the Metsies battled back.  Rafael Santana's RBI single with 2 out in the 5th plated Mex to tie the game at 1-1.  Ray Knight's 2 out single in the 6th gave Darling and Orosco a 1 run lead that they were able to protect.  Waite Hoyt went the distance and must have felt snake bit giving up just 2 runs and still taking it on the chin.  The only run scored for the pinstripes was a mammoth clout by the Bambino.
Series tied 2-2
