Part 5/6:
In a moment that encapsulated the excitement of the game, Francisco Lindor was called to pinch-hit, despite nursing a broken toe. This substitution proved to be a game-changer. Lindor expertly drove a pitch down the right-field line, potentially scoring Soto and Alonso. A relay throw at home plate sent Alonzo sliding in, where he skillfully avoided a tag, further galvanizing the Morgans.
The Mets’ bench erupted as Lindor's clutch two-run double pushed them into a 4-2 lead, a significant turnaround in the game. The crowd felt the wave of energy surging through the ballpark in recognition of Lindor's impactful return from injury.
