Mets Win Thriller, 9-8
Well, that's how to end a game in style.

The Chicago Cubs got a sterling performance from center fielder Kevin Norton, but the New York Mets still prevailed, 9-8. Norton hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. The loss has the Cubs at 2-1.

The Mets were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth when second baseman Kevin Bellman turned a 2-2 screwball from Mike Alexander into a 2-run single. The walk-off single electrified the Citi Field denizens and sent the Mets home with a thrilling 9-8 win.

"I'm proud of the way our guys played today to come out with this win," Bellman told the New York Citizen.
