Alfaro could have gotten McNeil out at second base if he had not rushed his throw.Watching a professional team throw the ball around the infield is tough, but that shows how tough baseball can be. Fortunately, Boston would get that run back later, thanks to a solo home run off the bat of Yu Chang, winning 8-6.&quot;Red Sox pulled a Mets&quot; one fan tweeted.Jon Coppernoll@JCoppernoll@TalkinBaseball_ Red Sox pulled a Mets1@TalkinBaseball_ Red Sox pulled a Mets&quot;I swear something weird always happens in a Mets game lol&quot; another fan tweeted.Anthony@LinkDFS@TalkinBaseball_ I swear something weird always happens in a Mets game lol49@TalkinBaseball_ I swear something weird always happens in a Mets game lolEric Slater@ericsslater@TalkinBaseball_ Squirrel McNeil with the Little League home run! #LGM4@TalkinBaseball_ Squirrel McNeil with the Little League home run! #LGMDynamic Voltage Games@dynamic_voltage@TalkinBaseball_ You'd think this is something the Mets would do on defense@TalkinBaseball_ You'd think this is something the Mets would do on defenseUsually, the New York Mets would be the team throwing the ball around.
