NEW YORK – Damion Easley scored on Joel Hanrahan’s second wild pitch in the 14th inning and the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 3-2 Thursday night on the 44th anniversary of the first game at Shea Stadium.

Easley led off the 14th with a single to left. He advanced to second on a wild pitch with one out and reached third when Hanrahan committed a throwing error trying to pick him off second.

Ryan Church struck out and Hanrahan intentionally walked David Wright and Carlos Delgado to load the bases. Hanrahan then bounced the first pitch to pinch-hitter Brian Schneider, and Easley raced home with the winning run.
