The Flying Squirrel Goes High

Jeff McNeil had three RBIs and made two outstanding defensive plays to help the Mets to a 7-6 win in 10 innings over the St. Louis Cardinals at home. The leaping grab into the foul territory was turned into a double play to end the 7th inning and snuff out a Cardinals threat. “I thought the first one was 10 rows foul, and then it tends to come back into play. So I was ready to climb up on the wall and go get it out of the stands and it just happened to fall back into fair territory,” McNeil said.
