Overview

  • The Mets beat the Seattle Mariners 7–3 at Williamsport’s Little League Classic to snap a month-long drought with back-to-back wins.
  • Rookie Nolan McLean impressed in his debut with 5 1⁄3 scoreless innings, providing a rare boost to the Mets’ pitching staff.
  • Soto became the first player this season to reach 30 home runs and 20 steals, while his three walks pushed his league-leading total to 96.
  • Chanting Little League World Series players prompted Soto to perform his trademark 'Soto Shuffle' during his third plate appearance.
  • Team Canada’s 12-year-old Misha Lee called Soto 'kind of overrated,' and Soto later fired back at a heckler in practice, underscoring the pressure on New York’s marquee signing.
