Under the lights at Bowman Field, the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners faced off in the 2025 edition of the MLB Little League Classic in front of every Little League World Series regional champion and fans from the county.

The New York Mets suffered a 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field on Thursday, extending their slump in dramatic fashion. Once the hottest team in the National League, the Mets have now dropped nine of their last 10 games—a skid that has erased their once-comfortable advantage in the standings.

Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo made his 24th start of the season Saturday and became the first hurler ever to toss six innings or more in each one of them.

The Seattle Mariners face the New York Mets in the finale of a 3-game set Sunday in the Little League Classic at Journey Bank Ballpark.

The 66-year-old has made plenty of changes to the game since taking over in 2015, such as the advent of the pitch clock, limiting mound visits, and increasing the size of bases. The league also added the “Manfred Man” under his watch, giving teams a runner on second at the start of extra innings during the regular season.

The New York Mets should be excited about what starting pitcher Nolan McLean can bring to the table as the season winds down.
