Alonso's Clutch Homer Saves Mets in Thrilling Game

Picture this: the Mets were on the edge of elimination, and it was all down to the ninth inning. First baseman Pete Alonso was up to bat with two strikes against him. He swung his bat and sent a powerful hit over the right field wall – a three-run homer! This incredible moment secured the Mets' 4-2 win over the Brewers and their spot in the NLDS. Before this exciting finish, the game was tense, with neither team scoring for a long time. Milwaukee finally broke the silence with solo home runs in the seventh inning. But the Mets didn't give up. Thanks to some great pitching from David Peterson who got the final five outs, they stayed in the game. Alonso joked after the game about how the "Playoff Pumpkin" he picked with his wife Haley brought them good luck. Now, the Mets are ready to face the Phillies this weekend in the division series.
