Whoa Nelly, where have I even been the past month??? My apologies - life, work, and parenting have gotten in the way. We'll see if I can't get back in a groove here for the rest of March.
A Steve Balboni RBI double in the top of the first gave the Royals an early 1-0 lead, but the Mariners tied it up in their half of the inning when Jack Perconte singled, stole second, and scampered home on a Steve Henderson hit. They went up 2-1 in the second when Jim Pressley doubled home Al Cowens.
The tide turned again in the top of the fourth. Ed VandeBerg got shelled for three runs by the Royals. U.L. Washington plated two of those runs off a double. The Royals put up another three-spot in the eighth, which proved pivotal because Seattle made a late comeback in the bottom of the eighth. It wasn't enough as Dan Quisenberry came in to save the game.

The Cardinals were up 1-0 in the top of the third when the Mets put up four runs thanks to back to back homers from Darryl Strawberry and George Foster! But the Cardinals kept chipping back and actually went up 5-4 in the fifth thanks to a two-RBI single from David Green.
Pinch-hitter Jose Oquendo singled home Mookie Wilson in the sixth to tie things up, and it would stay knotted...until the top of the 13th inning!!! Both bullpens got used up until Jeff Lahti, working his third inning of relief, gave up a surprise two-run homer to Mookie! Doug Sisk worked his third inning of relief to preserve the hard-earned win for the Metropolitans.

Losing Pitcher - Jeff Lahti
Player of the Game - Mookie Wilson, 4-6, HR, 2RBI, 2SB's, 2R's
