In the fourth inning, the Milwaukee Brewers were threatening to bust the game wide open with bases loaded and one out. Brewers infielder Eric Sogard hit a foul pop up to the third base side. Mets third baseman Wilmer Flores raced to the guard rail to snag it for the second out, but he was interrupted while he was on his way.
The bat boy, supplied by the home New York Mets, made an effort to get out of Flores’ way before the ball arrived. The kid had no idea where the ball was and was in the middle of an honest attempt to retreat when the ball and Flores arrived.
