Mets showed stones in Game 5, rallying from an early deficit with late-inning heroics to score a 6-4 triumph over Detroit, narrowing the Tigers edge in the series to 3-2 as the World Series heads back to Shea.
With the bases loaded and one out in the eight and the Mets trailing, 4-3, Jim Rice lined a two-run single to give New York its first lead.
Guess who showed up in the ninth? Reggie Jackson, who unloaded a solo homer for some insurance.
Nolan Ryan battled through a taxing seven innings and Dave LaRoche handled the final two frames to nail down the victory.
