With runners on the corners, Benge hits a line drive over Backhus’ head. The trajectory of the ball would have placed it as a one-hopper to Turner, who would have been in perfect position to roll a double play to end the inning. Instead, Backhus reached up to make the catch, watching as the ball deflected off his glove towards Bohm at third base. Bohm was able to get the out at first on the play, but the run scored, giving the Mets a 4-3 lead. Shugarts was charged with all three runs on 0.1 innings of work.
