They were unable to add more runs as Bass was thrown out at third base following <a href="/wiki/Alan_Ashby" title="Alan Ashby">Alan Ashby</a>'s botched attempt to lay down a suicide-squeeze bunt and then Ashby lined out to shortstop to end the inning. </p><p>That lead held up for most of the game as Knepper was dominant, allowing no runs through the first eight innings. Meanwhile, Ojeda allowed nothing more through his next four frames, after which <a href="/wiki/Rick_Aguilera" title="Rick Aguilera">Rick Aguilera</a> tossed three scoreless innings. </p><p>This set the stage for a Mets' comeback in the top of the ninth that started when <a href="/wiki/Lenny_Dykstra" title="Lenny Dykstra">Lenny Dykstra</a> tripled against Knepper to lead off. <a href="/wiki/Mookie_Wilson" title="Mookie Wilson">Mookie Wilson</a> singled in Dykstra to cut it to 3–1 and then with one out, <a href="/wiki/Keith_Hernandez" title="Keith Hernandez">Keith Hernandez</a> doubled to score Wilson and end Knepper's night as the left-hander was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Dave_Smith_(pitcher,_born_1955)" title="Dave Smith (pitcher, born 1955)">Dave Smith</a>, who walked <a href="/wiki/Gary_Carter" title="Gary Carter">Gary Carter</a> and <a href="/wiki/Darryl_Strawberry" title="Darryl Strawberry">Darryl Strawberry</a>. <a href="/wiki/Ray_Knight" title="Ray Knight">Ray Knight</a> then hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Hernandez and tie the game before <a href="/wiki/Danny_Heep" title="Danny Heep">Danny Heep</a> struck out swinging with the bases loaded to end the inning. </p><p>Mets manager <a href="/wiki/Davey_Johnson" title="Davey Johnson">Davey Johnson</a> used his bullpen aggressively, as Mike Scott, eventual series MVP, was scheduled to start in Game 7 and nobody on the Mets wanted to face him again. They had scored one run off of Scott in eighteen innings in his previous two outings, and several Mets players have since openly acknowledged that they considered this game a deciding game, playing it more like a Game 7 than a Game 6 because they were playing (despite the cockiness and arrogance that had characterized the team for most of the season) with the barely concealed belief that they would lose to Scott again if it got to Game 7. <a href="/wiki/Roger_McDowell" title="Roger McDowell">Roger McDowell</a> came in to pitch for New York and allowed just one hit through five scoreless innings. Meanwhile, Houston pitchers Smith and <a href="/wiki/Larry_Andersen" title="Larry Andersen">Larry Andersen</a> held the Mets hitless until the top of the 14th inning when Carter singled, Strawberry walked, and with one out <a href="/wiki/Wally_Backman" title="Wally Backman">Wally Backman</a> singled off <a href="/wiki/Aurelio_L%C3%B3pez" title="Aurelio López">Aurelio López</a> to plate Strawberry with the go-ahead run as Bass' throw home sailed high. The Mets still had the bases loaded before Wilson struck out to end the threat. </p><p>The Mets were now three outs away from going to the World Series, but with one out in the bottom of the 14th inning <a href="/wiki/Billy_Hatcher" title="Billy Hatcher">Billy Hatcher</a> homered off the left-field foul pole against Orosco to tie the game 4–4. </p><p>However, in the top of the 16th inning Strawberry doubled to lead off against López, followed by Knight's single that scored Strawberry to put the Mets ahead again. <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Calhoun_(baseball)" title="Jeff Calhoun (baseball)">Jeff Calhoun</a> then replaced López and threw two wild pitches, the second scoring Knight to put New York up by two. Dykstra then singled in Backman, who had walked, for a 7–4 Mets' advantage. </p><p>The Mets needed each of those three runs as Houston rallied once again when with one out, <a href="/wiki/Davey_Lopes" title="Davey Lopes">Davey Lopes</a> drew a pinch-hit walk, followed by <a href="/wiki/Bill_Doran_(second_baseman)" title="Bill Doran (second baseman)">Bill Doran</a>'s single. Hatcher then singled in Lopes to make it 7–5, after which <a href="/wiki/Denny_Walling" title="Denny Walling">Denny Walling</a> hit into a fielder's choice for the second out. Davis followed with a single to centerfield that landed in front of a charging Dykstra, that brought home Doran to cut it to 7–6 and moved Walling into scoring position. Now the tying run was in scoring position and the winning run was at first base, and would-be Game 7 starter <a href="/wiki/Mike_Scott_(baseball)" title="Mike Scott (baseball)">Mike Scott</a> was waiting in the wings. Orosco, opposite Kevin Bass, eventually found himself at a full count. A strike away from a pennant, and simultaneously a misplaced pitch away from loading the bases, Orosco struck out Bass to end the threat, the game and the series and sent the Mets to a World Series duel with the Boston Red Sox, winning them their first pennant in <a href="/wiki/1973_World_Series" title="1973 World Series">13 years</a>. According to Orosco, prior to the at-bat against Bass, Keith Hernandez ordered him to throw nothing but breaking balls to Bass, telling Orosco, "If you throw another fastball, we're gonna fight." </p><p>Orosco pitched three innings for his third win of the series, marking the first time a reliever had won three games in a postseason series. The time of the game was 4 hours and 42 minutes and the 16 innings was the most that had been played in a postseason contest at that time. The Mets and Astros had also played a 15-inning contest that lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes during the regular season, which Houston won 9–8.<sup id="cite_ref-Game6_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Game6-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2011, <a href="/wiki/MLB_Network" title="MLB Network">MLB Network</a> ranked this as the fifth greatest game of the preceding 50 years.<sup id="cite_ref-MLB's_20_Greatest_Games_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MLB's_20_Greatest_Games-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This was the last game in which the Astros wore their "tequila sunrise" (or "rainbow guts") uniform top, which the franchise introduced in 1975 and became one of the most iconic, if infamous, uniforms in MLB history.
