Champions of the World!

The World Series has ended after 5 games, and this year, the Royals topped the Mets 4 games to 1. The Royals were deserving of this years World Series after they lost in a competitive, 7 game World Series last year to the Giants. This year, they wasted a ton of Mets pitchers arms by just hitting the ball foul or getting small hits. The Royals did well, but it was the Mets that helped the Royals win the World Series, committing 6 errors during the World Series. In game 5, the Royals were down 2-0 going into the 9th inning, but Matt Harvey came back out and let up a walk and then another hit that made that run score. When it was 1-2, it was too late for Jeurys Familia, as he let in the tying run. In the top of the 12th, Addison Reed let up a walk, which made Jarrod Dyson, one of the speediest guys in baseball, on first. Jarrod Dyson stole second and then Alex Gordon grounds out, which gets Dyson to 3rd. After that, pinch hitter Christian Colon hit a a line drive to left that landed in front of Michael Conforto, and that scored the go-ahead run. In that inning, 4 more runs would score and Bartolo Colon would come into pitch. The Mets couldn't strike back in the bottom of the 12th, and the Royals won the World Series. Luckily, though, the Mets weren't even supposed to make the playoffs without one of their best pitchers, Zach Wheeler. That will give them more experience for next year so they will be able to make the playoffs and maybe even get back to the World Series.
