Giants 8 Mets 7 - wow, wow, wow - it almost happened; the Mets rode that pitching advantage to a near spot in the Elite 8 (even if McReynolds had won LF, the Giants still get the tiebreaker and win) they needed to sweep the pitching to do it - but Mathewson held up for the Giants and we have a group winner.
The 1905 New York Giants are one of the 16 greatest teams in National League history.
They'll take on the 1976 Reds for a spot in the NL Final Four.
