These Mets just don’t give up!
It didn’t look good in the seventh inning, down 4-2 to the
Phillies.
Mets teams of the past would have rolled over, brought in
Aaron Heilman to put the game well out of reach.
Not these Mets! Kirk Niewenhuis walked and Justin Turner and
Ike Davis doubled. The Rob Johnson walked to load the bases.
Up walked Lucas Duda, resting because he was down 10 pounds
from the flu. Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick then hit Duda, because that’s what
Phillies pitchers do these days. Note to Kendrick: Don’t admit you hit him on
purpose or you’ll join Cole Hamels on suspension.
The next inning was even more fun. David Wright and Scott
Hairston doubled, then Turner reached on an error. That set the stage for Ike
Davis to launch a three-run bomb off the upper deck facing.
Then, in the ninth inning, Andres Torres got into the act,
adding a home run of his own.
Final score, Mets 10, Phillies 6 – and a series sweep to
hoist the Flag of Victory for the fifth game in a row!
