NEW YORK — When Dominic Smith entered the game for the New York Mets in the 11th inning, his appearance was set to be just a footnote in the box score, coming in to allow the sure-to-be National League Rookie of the Year to be serenaded by the New York faithful one final time.

A half-inning and one powerful swing later, Smith became headline material as the Mets ended a promising season in style.

Smith hit a walk-off three-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the 11th to give the Mets one of their most dramatic end-of-season send-offs in franchise history, a 7-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field on Sunday afternoon.
