One out in the bottom of the ninth, a pitch that initially appears good for the strikeout scores the winning run. just grazing the batters elbow hanging over the zone. and whether the batter attempts to avoid getting hit is not reviewable. the umpires call stands and the mets win, 3-2. all right. time now for the weather. lets go to meteorologist, bill karins, for a check on the forecast. bill, happy friday. how is the weekend looking? >> happy friday, kasie. that is a horrible rule. they need...
