A Flying Squirrel and Polar Bomb give the Mets a series win

The Mets finished up their season series against the Cardinals taking five of seven games from their National League foes, with every game providing mounds of entertainment and tension. The finale was no exception, as the Mets blew leads and rallied twice before a two-run home run from Pete Alonso in the bottom of the tenth inning brought out the dugout for a closing celebration.

Brandon Nimmo did what Brandon Nimmo does in the bottom of the first with a leadoff single through the hole between first and second. Nimmo advanced to second on a Canha groundout and to third on a wild pitch, and after Francisco Lindor walked Pete Alonso drove Nimmo in with a single to right field.
