The New York Mets can advance to the NLCS tonight and make history by winning the first series at Citi Field

FLUSHING, Queens (WABC) — The New York Mets are just one win away from the National League Championship Series and it could be an even more special moment for the home fans.

Game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies offers the Amazin’s an opportunity to pick up their first series win at Citi Field in the ballpark’s 15-year history.

The Mets took a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five series with a convincing 7-2 win in front of 40,000 raucous fans. The team and Citi Field expect the same crowd for Game 4.

“The Mets hit very well and they hit hard, so we have a great chance to put them away,” Ozzie Luna said.

Some fans even showed off custom jewelry in hopes of securing victory.

“These are bracelets that I made – good luck rally bracelets to bring good luck to the Mets,” Stefanie Nelkens added.

But it’s not just the fans who are enjoying the ride – the ballpark employees are also feeling the rush of Mets magic in their wallets.

“I want them to win because this is my neighborhood, this is a New York team and besides, we work,” one employee said. “We continue to work. And as long as they keep working, we keep working. So it’s a mutual agreement.”

First pitch is scheduled for 5:08 p.m
