Overview

• The Mets defeated the Seattle Mariners 7-3 at the MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, securing their first two-game winning streak since late July behind rookie Nolan McLean’s 5 1/3 scoreless innings debut.
• Soto obliged chants from Little Leaguers behind home plate by performing his signature “Soto Shuffle” during his third plate appearance at Bowman Field.
• He finished 0-for-2 with three walks to extend his season lead in walks to 96 and stole his 20th base in the eighth inning.
• Team Canada’s 12-year-old Misha Lee publicly dismissed Soto as “kind of overrated” when asked which MLB star she wanted to meet during Little League World Series coverage.
• During pregame practice, Soto retorted to a heckler questioning his injured hand by asking, “Is it what you want or what I say?”
