Unable Tuesday to provide with his bat in Game 1 of the doubleheader or make a play with his glove to help in Game 2, Tyler O’Neill used his elite speed to outrun a potential groundout and seize a split in a doubleheader against the New York Mets at Citi Field. With the go-ahead run at third, O’Neill didn’t get a full cut at Mets reliever Adam Ottavino’s pitch as it veered in on his hands. He clipped the ball enough to send it bounding toward third. O’Neill blitzed from the box as Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar rushed in to make the play for what would have been the inning’s final out. Escobar bobbled the transfer. That was all the time O’Neill needed. O’Neill beat the throw to first base, and that meant Brendan Donovan’s run from third counted, snapping a tie and hurtling the Cardinals to a 4-3 victory in the evening game. That countered the Mets’ 3-1 victory in Game 1. “I think that’s my first infield single this year,” O’Neill said. “That was definitely a good one to get.” The final innings of the long day at the ballpark hinged on both teams taking advantage of plays not made by the opponent. The Cardinals misplaced a lead in the bottom of the eighth inning when O’Neill and Donovan saw a popup drop between them in foul territory down the third-base line, and the strikeout Ryan Helsley got to end the inning wasn’t in catcher Andrew Knizner’s mitt when he showed it to the umpire. It had slipped by him to prolong the inning and give Jeff McNeil the swing that knotted the game, 3-3. [/QUOTE]
