"Either a sacrifice fly or a sacrifice b.unt, we get the win," Mello said. "I've been fortunate to be swinging the bat well against these guys the last few days. It was just a perfect situation." Doug Piatt (1-1), who relieved starter David Sommer (an unearned run, four hits) in the sixth, retired the side in order in the seventh. Pitching took a backseat to hitting early in the first game, particularly for Dodgers starter Bill Bene (1-3).

He lasted only two-thirds of an inning as West Palm Beach sent 12 men to the plate in the first for six runs all unearned. Todd Mayo led off the bottom of the first by reaching on shortstop Jorge Alvarez's error. One out later, Bene walked Terris and Jim Faulk to load the bases. Matt Stairs the league's leading hitter at .392 followed with a two-run single. After striking out Fred Williams, Boddie tripled to the right-center field gap for a 4-1 advantage.

It was the first triple of the season for Boddie and the first of his four hits on the day. The left fielder entered Sunday hitting just .218. He left hitting .262. "I'm notorious for getting off to a slow start, but I'm not worried," Boddie said. "I've been feeling pretty good at the plate.

"At the beginning of the season that's how we scored most of our runs in the first three innings. We'd score a lot and then shut them down." Joe Siddall and Fletcher added RBI singles in the inning for a 6-1 lead. The lead gave Pete Young (4-0) the cushion he needed to counter a shaky start. Entering with a 1.57 ERA sixth best in the league Young gave up three runs on nine hits in five innings. Notes Catcher Rob Mason (injured left thumb) has been placed on the disabled list and catcher Dan Har-gis was added to the Expos' roster Sunday.

Runge: First, Layne; Second, Win 'He could: 1) keep his streak alive with a tie-breaking home run, or 2) hit his second sacrifice fly for the go-ahead run. No one, especially Vero Beach, thought to look behind door No. 3. Mello laid down a sacrifice bunt to squeeze home Rob Fletcher in the bottom of the sixth inning for the winning run in a 2-1 Florida State League win for the Expos and a doubleheader sweep Sunday at Municipal Stadium in front of 1,563 fans.

The pitching that bought time for its offense in the second game was returning a favor. West Palm Beach (20-11) staked its pitching staff to a big lead in the first inning with six runs on four hits, including Rod Boddie's two-run triple, for a 7-5 win over Vero Beach (12-18) in the opener. "The wind was blowing out in the first game and it changed in the second game for a typical 2-1 Expos manager Felipe Alou said. "The first game was a wild one. But we haven't scored many runs here.

We squeeze a lot here. But with the cleanup hitter, they were kind of surprised." In the first two meetings of the five-game series between the Expos and Dodgers, Mello homered in each game as the teams split. He missed consecutive homer No. 3 and fourth of the season by only a stiff breeze and a few feet in the first inning, settling for a sacrifice fly and a 1-0 lead. After Fletcher walked to lead off the sixth inning, stole second and advanced to third on Adam Terris' groundout, the list of possibilities seemed short when Mello stepped to the plate.

Somehow, he would go deep. That wasn't exactly what the Expos discussed when pitcher Cam Biberdorf was warming up in relief of Bob Fletcher (1-2). "Felipe mentioned a squeeze to me in the on-deck circle when the new pitcher was warming up," Mello said. "Felipe likes to put the bunt on when we aren't getting a lot of hits. It was a good time for a squeeze." Good timing turned into a good bunt in front of the mound, as Fletcher scored and Mello was Reynolds.
