Rick Camp Game

Crew chief Terry Tata ruled that Mets reliever Roger McDowell had officially entered the game when he came onto the field to inspect the mound after the delay.

In the top of the fourth, Mets rallied for four runs to take a 5–3 lead, thanks in part to a Wally Backman RBI single into center field off Braves reliever Jeff Dedmon.

In the bottom of the fourth, Terry Leach came in to relieve Roger McDowell, who had been pinch-hit for by Clint Hurdle in the top of the frame, and only allowed one run on four hits over the next four innings.

In the top of the sixth inning, Keith Hernandez singled, one of the two hits he needed to complete the cycle, but umpire Terry Tata incorrectly ruled that his line drive to center had been caught by Dale Murphy.

The Mets answered with a run in the ninth with consecutive singles from Howard Johnson, Danny Heep, and Lenny Dykstra against Bruce Sutter.

[22] In the bottom of the 18th, Braves pitcher Rick Camp was batting against Tom Gorman and proceeded to hit the 0–2 pitch for a home run over the left field wall.

It also occurred after rain had delayed the start of the first game (July 2) that saw it end past 1 a.m. Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium also had a scheduled fireworks display that night but postponed it.
