Leiter Hit In Head, Mets Finally Win
In a
scary moment,
Al Leiter took a liner in the head off the bat of Marlins shortstop
Alex Gonzalez. The shot didn't draw blood, but Leiter was left with a nice lump.
"I'll be fine. I have a little headache and a little bruise about a half-inch above my temple. I saw it [the ball] and I thought I had it. It was knuckling a little bit and I missed it. I went black, but I didn't black out. But it was very dark."
The injury doesn't appear to be too serious, though Leiter may be questionable for his scheduled start on April 7th against the Braves. In other news, the Mets snapped their six-game losing streak by pummeling the Marlins 21-13.
Ty Wigginton went 5-6 with 4 RBI and 3 runs scored.
