Mets can move on to NLCS tonight, make history with first series clincher at Citi Field

Updated 3 hours ago
FLUSHING, Queens (WABC) -- The New York Mets are just one win away from the National League Championship Series, and it could be an even more special moment for the home faithful.

Game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies provides the Amazin's an opportunity to clinch their first-ever series win at Citi Field in the ballpark's 15-year history.

The Mets took a 2-1 series lead in their best-of-five series with a convincing 7-2 victory in front of 40,000 raucous fans. The team and Citi Field expect the same crowd for Game 4.

"The Mets have been hitting very well and they've been hitting them hard, so we have a great chance of putting them away," said Ozzie Luna.

Some fans even flashed some custom-made jewelry in the hopes of ensuring a victory.



"These are bracelets that I made - rally bracelets for good luck, to bring like good juju to the Mets for good luck," added Stefanie Nelkens.

But it isn't just the fans enjoying the ride -- ballpark employees are also feeling the rush of the Mets magic in their wallets.

"I want them to win because this is my neighborhood, this is a New York team and also, we're working," said one employee. "We keep working. And as long as they keep working, we keep working. So it's a mutual agreement."

The first pitch is scheduled for 5:08 p.m.
