Virtual World Series: Yanks Cling to Victory by Fingernails, Even Series! Mysterious Messages Flash on Scoreboard!

In a wild, extra-inning contest that featured really excellent, World Series class hitting, pitching, running, and general clutchness instead of just sloppy real-world crap, the virtual Yankees just managed to hold off their crosstown rivals in 13 innings, and avoid falling behind by 3-1 in games.

Surprise Yankees starter Domingo German was unsurprisingly touched for a massive, two-run homer in the first by the Polar Bear, Pete Alonso, and then a double by Joggy Cano that plated Gardy for a 3-0 lead.

But the Yanks chipped steadily away at the lead, thanks to a run-scoring single by D.J. LeMahieu, a run-scoring sacrifice fly by D.J. LeMahieu, and a run-scoring solo home run by D.J. LeMahieu. 

The Mets had an answer to that:  Jeff McNeil tripled in a run against Mike King, and only a fine throw by Miguel Andujar that nailed McNeil at home after a Amed Rosario fly ball kept the Flushing team from extending its lead.  A shuddering blast to dead centerfield by Aaron Judge into the midst of the 7 Line Army, a stunning steal of home by Brett Gardner, and a brilliant piece of opposite field hitting by Gleyber Torres, dropping a double down the line in right...left things pretty much as they were:  tied.

The rest of the way, brilliant pitching by Clarke Schmidt and the ex-Yanks Trio—Shreve, Wilson, and Toonces—shut down all the wild scoring until the 13th, when resurrected Mets closer Edwin Diaz gave up a two-out, two-strike, three-run homer by Luke Voit that left the Mets' faithless streaming for the exits.

But with a closer like Aroldis Chapman, nothing is guaranteed, and two outs, three walks, one hit batsman, and a Brett Gardner, two-run single later, the score stood 8-7, with the bases loaded.  

It was at this moment that the Amazon Field scoreboard went blank, and was replaced by a puzzling message from persons or non-persons unknown:

"CASHMAN: SURRENDER ALL CONTROL! —THE MYSTERONS (WE KNOW YOU CAN SEE THIS").

"Suzyn, there's no predicting baffling extraterrestrial comunications," remarked John Sterling, and several Mets said later that they were distracted by the potentially alien message. 

But it didn't seem to affect the batter, Brandon Nimmo, who belted a sinking line drive that did not result in an ecstatic, walk-off Mets run only because Aaron Hicks made a fantastic, face-first dive across the outfield grass.

"Now THAT'S a major-league ending," remarked Walt "Clyde" Frazier, visiting as color commentator in the Yankees booth.

"President disappears? Alien messages? Something's going on here," concluded Mets manager Bobby Valentine with his usual keen insight into any situation.
