Tense Start
The game started off tense, with neither team scoring in the first inning. Our guys showed some hustle, but couldn't quite break through.

The Braves struck first in the 2nd with Jarred Kelenic sending one out of the park.
But our Mets, they're fighters. By the bottom of the 3rd, we evened the score when Alonso singled to bring Stewart home. It was a moment of relief and a sign that our guys were in it to win it.Back and Forth
The game kept us on the edge of our seats, with the lead changing hands. Into the 6th, the Braves pulled ahead again, but not for long. The spirit of the Mets shone brightly as Alonso smacked a double in the bottom half to bring Lindor home, tying up the game again. This team just doesn't quit!High Pressure in the Late Innings
Going into the later innings, the tension was palpable. Braves managed to sneak another point in the 8th, leaving us trailing. It felt like a gut punch after all the hard work.
Nimmo's Heroics
Then came the bottom of the 9th, and oh boy, did Brandon Nimmo deliver! With Jeff McNeil on second thanks to a smart bunt, Nimmo blasted a two-run homer, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The crowd went wild!
A Game to Remember
This game was an emotional rollercoaster. Our Mets showed resilience, grit, and the heart of champions. Walking off with a 4-3 win against the Braves is sweet, but doing it in such dramatic fashion? Priceless.Total team effort, and a special shoutout to our bullpen for keeping us in it. This game's heroes, Nimmo and Alonso, showed just how dynamic our offense can be.
