NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Hours after Mets captain David Wright announced he would be returning for one final homestand, his teammates staged an emotional and improbable comeback at Citi Field Thursday afternoon.
Down to their last out and trailing by a run, Wright’s teammates came through in the first game of their doubleheader. Michael Conforto and Todd Frazier hit back-to-back homers in the ninth inning as New York stunned the Marlins 4-3.
Kyle Barraclough entered with one out in the ninth and retired pinch-hitter Dominic Smith before Conforto lined a 1-0 change up into the second deck in right to tie the game.
