Anderson then switched to Car- roll as the crowd gave Mays a tremendous standing ovation. The 42-year-old Mays, who had not appeared in a game since Sept. 9, swung at Carroll's first pitch and chopped it in front of the plate, no more than 30 feet up the third base line. It wasn't the hardest hit ball of his career - but it was in just the right place. Carroll rushed off the mound but his throw to the plate was not in time to get Millan, who slid! home on the infield single. A huge Shea Stadium crowd that started chanting, "We're No. 1,a We're No. 1!" during the big out- burst, spilled onto the field despite the presence of dozens of police-' men, creating a tumultuous victory scene when McGraw recorded the final out in the ninth inning, to give the Mets their third triumph in this best-of-five series and put them in the World Series for the second time in five years. The game was delayed several times in the Reds' ninth because of de- monstrative fans. The Mets will face the winner of the American League champion- ship series between the Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A's. The World Series begins Saturday in the American League city.
