Mets' epic comeback against the Phillies is one for the ages

NEW YORK - The Mets pulled off a comeback for the ages.

Down by six runs in the final inning, the Mets completed a comeback that hasn't been seen in decades.

As CBS2's Steve Overmyer reports the Mets gave us a reason why "You gotta believe."

In the final inning, belief wasn't in abundance.

"Yeah, I mean, I'm an optimist but I..." said outfielder Brandon Nimmo.

The Mets' chances of winning were down to one tenth of a percent. So when Starling Marte beat out the throw to first to start the inning, few could imagine what was about to transpire.
