More than 20 NSUMC youth and friends enjoyed a spectacular afternoon at Citi Field recently as the first place New York Mets defeated the Colorado Rockies. The MYF leaders obtained free tickets, and several other adults were happy to volunteer as drivers and chaperones for the chance to “root, root, root for the home team.”

The group saw great pitching by rookie Noah Syndegaard and cheered home runs by Curtis Granderson, Kelly Johnson, and Juan Lagares as the Mets won 12 ­- 3.
