SAN FRANCISCO-If the one word for the 2012 San Francisco Giants was resilency, what is the one word that can describe the 2014 Giants? Maybe determined is that one word.

Michael Morse hit a bases loaded single in the bottom of the ninth, as the Giants came back to defeat the New York Mets 5-4 before 41,296, the 276th consecutive regular season sellout at AT&T Park.

Jenrry Mejia came on in the bottom of the ninth inning, and despite striking out Pagan, Mejia threw a wild pitch and Pagan beat the throw by Andrew Recker to first base that pulled Lucas Duda off the bag.

Mets manager Terry Collins challenged the call, as he thought Duda beat Pagan to the base; however after a one minute 12 seasond review, the play stood.

Pence then doubled up the left-center field gap to score a sliding Pagan from first base to tie up the game.

After Posey flew out for the first out, Mejia walked Pablo Sandoval intentionally to get to Morse and he promptly greeted Mejia with a single over the head of Bobby Abreu to set off a wild celebration on the field.

It was an off night entirely for Tim Hudson, who went five innings, allowing three runs on nine hits, while walking a season high three and striking out five; however he did not fare in the decision.

This was the second time this season that Hudson did not go at least six innings, the first time came on May 22, when the Giants game against the Colorado Rockies was suspended due to weather at Coors Field.

Bartolo Colon, making his return to the Bay Area after pitching the last two seasons across the Bay, where he pitched for the Oakland A’s went 5.2 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits, walking two and striking out four, but did not fare in the decision.

Recker singled to left field to score Duda with the first run of the night in the top of the second inning for the Mets.

Gregor Blanco came on to pinch hit for Hudson in the bottom of the fifth inning, and singled off of Colon and then Angel Pagan singled him to second and then Hunter Pence walked to load the bases.

Buster Posey got the Giants on the board, as he hit into a double play that scored Blanco from third base; however Pablo Sandoval flew out to Young in left field to end the inning.

George Kontos came on to replace Hudson in the top of the sixth inning, and promptly gave back the run that the Giants scored in the bottom of the fifth inning, as he walked Matt den Dekker to lead off the inning, David Murphy then singled and then den Dekker scored on a wild pitch by Kontos.

Colon got into trouble in the bottom of the sixth inning after he retired Morse and Tyler Colvin, Brandon Crawford singled and then Brandon Hicks hit a ground ball to Wright at third and he promptly air mailed into right field, sending Crawford to third and Hicks to third.

With the pitchers’ spot coming up, Bruce Bochy sent Hector Sanchez to pinch hit and he walked to load the bases and then Pagan supplied some AT&T Park magic, as he singled in Crawford and Hicks.

After Mets manager Terry Collins pulled a double switch that brought Jeurys Familia into the game, Pence greeted him by beating out a infield single to load the bases.

Posey was then unable to be the hero for the second night in a row, as he struck out on a 3-2 pitch that ended the inning and the threat.
