Jeff McNeil came up in a huge spot for the New York Mets, but thanks to an awful error by the Boston Red Sox, he was running freely around the bases.
Jeff McNeil and theMcNeil did just that with his Little League inside-the-park home run on Saturday night inWith two men in scoring position down 2-0 in the top of the fourth, the defending NL batting champion came to the dish and did his job, hitting a line drive up the middle.
But his throw airmailed just about everybody – it flew into the outfield and rolled past center fielder Jarren Duran, leaving McNeil to run freely."I don't hit a lot of regular homers, so it was a little bit different. That was probably my first Little League home run since Little League. It was a fun moment,"It was short-lived, though, as Max Scherzer allowed four home runs, and Trevor Gott allowed three earned runs in just his one-third of an inning in relief of Scherzer.
