On July 4, 1985, the New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 16–13 in a 19-inning Major League Baseball contest that featured Keith Hernandez hitting for the cycle, Mets manager Davey Johnson being ejected, and the Braves coming back to tie the game twice in extra innings, most notably in the bottom of the 18th. The game was especially highlighted by relief pitcher Rick Camp, a career .060 hitter at the time with no home runs batting only because the Braves had no position players left, shockingly hitting a solo home run on a 0–2 pitch in the 18th off of Tom Gorman to re-tie the game at 11–11. As a result, it has become known simply as the Rick Camp game. Game Following a 90 minute rain delay, the game was finally set to begin around 9:00 p.m. EST. Both teams scored a run in the first. In the top of the first, Gary Carter drove in Keith Hernandez with a single. The Braves countered, with Claudell Washington leading the frame off with a triple, then scoring on a Rafael Ramírez groundout. Mets starter Dwight Gooden continued to struggle by walking three of the next four batters to load the bases with two outs. He ultimately however, managed to escape the jam by forcing a Rick Cerone groundout to end the Atlanta threat. After 2 1/3 innings, the rain came down again for another 41 minutes, consequently bouncing Gooden from the game. Mets manager Davey Johnson, proceeded to play the game under protest after he wasn't allowed to make a double-switch when Gooden left the game. Crew chief Terry Tata ruled that Mets reliever Roger McDowell had officially entered the game when he came onto the field to inspect the mound after the delay. The Braves then took a 3–1 lead in the third after the rain delay. Braves manager Eddie Haas on the other hand, stuck with his starter, Rick Mahler following the second delay. In the top of the fourth, Mets rallied for four runs to take a 5–3 lead, thanks in part to a Wally Backman RBI single into center field off of Braves reliever Jeff Dedmon. In the bottom of the fourth, Terry Leach came in to relieve Roger McDowell, who had been pinch-hit for by Clint Hurdle in the top of the frame, and only allowed one run on four hits over the next
