SAN FRANCISCO -- As the stragglers stumbled into the visitors clubhouse, some New York Mets players hollered and high-fived teammates as they passed through the door. This was just the kind of celebration that had escaped them before. Eric Young Jr. scored on shortstop Brandon Crawfords fielding error with two outs in the 16th inning, and the Mets outlasted the San Francisco Giants 4-3 in a game that ended early Tuesday morning. The Mets already had played three games of at least 15 innings this season -- and lost each one. "Ive never heard of anything like this. Its unbelievable," manager Terry Collins said. "At least were used to it." Young singled with one out and stole second to start the final rally. After he advanced to third on Daniel Murphys groundout, lefty Javier Lopez entered and intentionally walked David Wright. Crawford couldnt handle pinch-hitter Anthony Reckers grounder, allowing Young to score and handing New York the victory. The game lasted 5 hours, 26 minutes. "Weve played in some long games and we havent always come out on the winning side," Recker said. "As soon as the 10th inning started, we were like, Are we really going to do this again?" It was the longest game in time and innings the Giants had played since losing 1-0 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 18 innings on May 9, 2001. Marco Scutaro walked leading off the bottom of the 16th inning, and Buster Posey hit a one-out single for the first five-hit game of his career. But Bobby Parnell regrouped to strike out Pablo Sandoval and retire pinch-hitter Guillermo Quiroz on a grounder for his 16th save. Posey went 5 for 8, including a two-run homer and two doubles. San Francisco has lost 12 of 14 and is a season-high eight games below .500. The Giants went 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position and stranded 18 overall -- 13 in the last six innings. "Thats as frustrating a game as weve had," manager Bruce Bochy said. Tim Lincecum and Matt Harvey each threw seven innings of three-run ball before the bullpens shut down the opposition. Harvey said a blister on his right index finger has been bothering him his last two starts but he doesnt consider it an issue. "Im just glad we won," he said. Josh Edgin (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the win. George Kontos (2-2) allowed the one unearned run in 2 2-3 otherwise solid innings. It was the 18th major league game to go 14 innings or more this season, two shy of last years total, according to STATS. The Mets improved to 1-3 in games of at least 15 innings. The last team to play that many in one season was the 2004 Minnesota Twins, who went 2-2, according to STATS. By the time the final out was recorded at 12:42 a.m. local time, only a few thousand fans remained from an announced sellout crowd of 41,497. The ferry back to Oakland-Alameda had blown its departing horn at 11:30 p.m., and the final BART trains left about midnight. The Giants even held a 14th-inning stretch for those who stayed. So many seagulls started to hover above the stands that the scoreboard operator asked fans to clap to try and scare them away. Both teams had chances to end the game earlier. With runners on second and third in the 11th, Crawford made a diving stop on Marlon Byrds grounder at shortstop and recovered for a perfect throw from the outfield grass. In the 12th, Sandoval snagged Omar Quintanillas liner at third and threw to first to get Kirk Nieuwenhuis for a double play. The Giants blew a gift-wrapped opportunity when Posey doubled after his fly ball bounced off the glove of Murphy backpedaling from second while Byrd tried to make a sliding catch coming in from right. Sandoval was intentionally walked before Byrd caught Hunter Pences slicing liner and Crawford flied out. Brandon Belt, batting in the third spot for the first time in his career, was 0 for 8 with five strikeouts, including the final out of the 12th inning with two runners on base. Bochy said he expects to keep Belt in that spot Tuesday night. Cole Gillespie broke his bat grounding out in the 13th with runners on second and third, and Gregor Blanco grounded out with the bases loaded in the 15th. Poseys 13th homer put the Giants ahead 2-0 in the first. Byrd singled leading off the fifth for the first hit off Lincecum, and John Bucks double sliced San Franciscos lead to 2-1. Young tripled leading off the sixth, and Murphy followed with the tying single. Murphy advanced to third on Scutaros throwing error at second base and scored when Ike Davis grounded into a double play to give the Mets a 3-2 lead. Lincecum had a season-high 11 strikeouts in seven innings. He gave up three runs, six hits and one walk. It was the 33rd time Lincecum has had at least 10 strikeouts in a game and the first time this year. But the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner was nowhere to be found in the Giants clubhouse after the game. A team spokesman said he had already left to recover -- as did many of his teammates. Other than Posey, Harvey had his way with San Franciscos lineup until late. He allowed three runs and six hits, striking out six and walking one. Pence, who made a pair of diving catches in right field, tripled leading off the seventh. The ball hit the cement near the top of the right-field wall and ricocheted back onto the field. Umpires reviewed the play and ruled that the triple stood, though the decision turned out to be an afterthought. Crawford immediately singled home Pence for the tying run. "Theres frustration," Pence said. "We want to stay as positive as we can right now. Weve got to get it done. Weve got to keep pushing to find a way to turn it around."

Ever dream of sitting in a pro football locker room, learning life lessons from the legends of the game?The Pro Football Hall of Fame will be providing the next best thing: a holographic film experience called A Game For Life featuring representations of Joe Namath, Vince Lombardi, George Halas and many others.I think it gives the fans a real sense of being in a locker room atmosphere and how we convey some things to one another as players, coaches and as former players, Namath says. Sitting in this dressing room and having the experience with the hologram technique and feeling what we have to say will have an impact.Created through a two-year collaboration of leaders from the film industry, writers of inspirational sports projects and efforts from a leading museum design firm, A Game For Life is expected to open by the end of the month. Immersive Artistry, the company that put everything together, says the exhibit will be ready just as football fans are gearing up for another season.It just happened to be a moment in time where everybody burned the midnight candle, and it was worth it, says Cary Granat, CEO of Immersive Artistry. We recognize if someone is coming to the Hall of Fame, they are coming already with some level of participation or having that connection to football. To build something to come to life, the last thing we wanted was something that would feel artificial.I think visitors will find a new sense of relevancy for the lessons of the game.The Hall of Fame, based in Canton, Ohio, has undergone significant changes and upgrades under its current president, David Baker. One thing he has stressed is bringing to life our assets, says Joe Horrigan, the halls executive vice president.With the new direction for the hall, this kind of defines a new beginning for us, Horrigan explains. Making the Hall of Fame more of a complete entertainment package and living up to our strict museum standards at the same time.The exhibit will allow fans to enter a stadium-themed preshow tunnel where they will see a video presentation that explains the odds of making it to the Hall of Fame; only 303 people have.A main set is designed to look and feel like an NFL locker room for Hall of Famers. Small groups of visitors enter and are treated to a multitude of physical, visual and audio elements.ddddddddddddThe holographic host for this intimate setting is none other than Namath, who Horrigan calls kind of the perfect guy. Hes a high-profile Hall of Famer and a majority of the people know him. ... His iconic `I guarantee it is kind of part of this whole theme: be confident, work hard and anything is possible.After Namath introduces the audience to the presentation, he turns to a magical chalkboard where his fellow Hall of Famers share their inspiring stories about how the lessons learned from the game have carried them through life.Teamwork: you cant get by in life without sharing with people, Namath says. Confidence. Respect. Never giving up. So much of everyday life that you need is in that game.Sitting in this `dressing room and having the experience with the hologram technique and feeling what we have to say will have an impact.Holograms of actors portraying the late Lombardi and Halas offer motivational messages as if they were addressing one of their championship teams. Other gold jackets such as Jim Brown, Alan Page, Jim Kelly, Curtis Martin and Steve Largent share their inspirational stories.As the exhibit progresses in years to come, there is the capability to include many more Hall of Famers, keeping it fresh.This is only the first piece, Granat says. The people who are in it now are going to be cycled so during the course of the years, it is likely you will see different players talking to you. It is meant to have a fluidity to it.The locker room setting was the idea of Baker, Horrigan and other hall executives. Horrigan thought holographics were a gimmick until he saw them in action and was instantly sold on the idea.For all of us who are fans and love the game of football, the one place we dont get to go is the locker room, Baker says. The locker room is a classroom, cathedral, church, where some of the greatest lessons in life are taught.Granat expects visitors to A Game For Life to be in awe.People will come out of this thing mesmerized, he says. You are going to walk out of this and want to run to the rest of the museum for the rest of the experience.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
