Eric
Young Jr. scored on shortstop Brandon Crawford's fielding error with two outs
in the 16th inning, and the New York Mets outlasted the San Francisco Giants
4-3 in a game that ended early Tuesday morning. The Mets improved to 1-3
in games of at least 15 innings this year. The last team to play that many in
one season was the 2004 Minnesota Twins, who went 2-2, according to STATS.
By the time the final
out was recorded at 12:42 a.m. local time, only a few thousand fans remained
from an announced sellout crowd of 41,497. The ferry back to Oakland-Alameda
had blown its departing horn at 11:30 p.m., and the final BART trains left
about midnight. The Giants even held a 14th-inning stretch for those who
stayed. So many seagulls started to hover above the stands that the scoreboard
operator asked fans to clap to scare them away.
