With the series now tied, anticipation is buzzing in the air as both teams prepare for the next game. The Mets are riding high with momentum, and reports say the Dodgers are keeping it light with karaoke sessions in their locker room, trying to keep spirits high despite the score. No one could have predicted that baseball could blend so beautifully with music; it is, after all, Canada’s game too! **Did You Know?** The Mets' ability to bounce back after a tough loss is crucial, especially during high-stakes matchups like the NLCS, exemplifying the team's mental toughness and strategic prowess. **Fun Fact:** Francisco Lindor's grand slam not only tied the series but also transformed him into a fan favorite overnight; he reportedly received a solid gold microphone from the fans for his musical-like hitting!
