Doc Gooden v. Rick Mahler. Beyond that, all I remember is Rick Camp homering in the 18th for the Braves after getting lit up in the top half of the inning (The Mets won, and I don't remember the score, but it was a slugfest; I want to say 10-6). That, and the Braves going ahead and launching fireworks at some ungodly hour when the game ended, and a bunch of Atlantans called the cops thinking the city was being bombed.

The score was 16-13, I believe.
