Marlins get a boost from older generation.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Clark Spencer
MIAMI _ It felt like old times at Pro Player Stadium on Monday. Old in the sense that the Marlins matter in September for the first time in years _ one glance at the wild-card standings shows them perched atop the pack of contenders, just like the 1997 club was at this time. And old in the sense that, well, a handful of Geritol guys figured prominently in a 5-2 victory over the Montreal Expos.
Mike Mordecai, 35, put down a perfect bunt to score a runner from third. Gerald Williams, 37, stole a base and scored the tying run. Lenny Harris, 38, drove in an important insurance run.
And 37-year-old Jeff Conine _ ``Mr. Marlin'' _ made his homecoming a memorable one with an RBI sacrifice and a sliding catch in left field.
Jack McKeon noticed _ how could he not? He's 72, the oldest manager in the majors. Only McKeon preferred to refer to the key contributors as ``new'' _ not old.
``We had a lot of contributions from some of the new guys,'' McKeon said. ``They all came through in a big fashion.''
The Marlins claimed a one-game lead in the wild-card race with the victory and Philadelphia's ninth-inning meltdown against Boston earlier in the afternoon.
