Billy Pierce(5-1) and Craig Anderson(1-6) locked horns in a pitcher's duel

with Pierce and the San Francisco Giants coming out on top of the New York

Mets 1 to 0.

 

San Francisco promptly took the lead in their half of the first scoring one

runner.  That early scoring was all that Pierce needed.  New York had a

chance in the 9th but they came up short.  

 

Pierce got relief help from Stu Miller who gained credit for his 8th save.

'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said New York's manager 'but it's losing the

close ones that really hurt.'
