Phillies fans flooded out of Citizens Bank Park deflated and disappointed Saturday night after losing to the New York Mets .
“This city is resilient we’re going to come back. This series isn’t over,” said Aiden Oraphilly.
“Were bummed. Zack Wheeler pitched an amazing game, but he didn’t get the run support. The bullpen came in and didn’t help him out much either,” said Brandon Shields, a Phillies fan from Wilmington.
Shields and his wife, Diamond, used to consider themselves good luck charms. They said the Phils never lost a playoff game they attended until Saturday.
It was a crushing loss after the Mets came alive in the eighth inning, but the Shields said it’s not time to panic.
“You can never count us out, we’re going to win in the end they just want to keep us engaged and keep us on our toes that’s all,” said Diamond Shields.
Hopes started high in the afternoon as fans partied outside the Bank and tailgated before Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
