St. Louis Cardinals   2  New York Mets   7

As the shadows of the night wrapped up the innocence of the day and as the artificial lights were raised upon New York city to compensate for the loss of day light the unparalleled atmosphere of Shea Stadium came alive when Delgado, wright, Chavez, Reyes and Reyes again inspired, with their batting prowess, Mike Pelfrey on the mound to his six wins in seven outings and the Mets to their 14 wins in 17 games. Final score: Cardinals  2  Mets  7
