New York Mets' first baseman Pete Alonso delivered a memorable performance in the decisive third game of the NL Wild Card Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Alonso, who had been struggling, came through in the ninth inning with a three-run homer off Brewers' closer Devin Williams, propelling the Mets to a 4-2 victory.
Alonso's heroic homer made him the first player in MLB history to hit a go-ahead home run when his team was trailing in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all postseason game. The slugger expressed his elation, describing the moment as something he had imagined as a child playing in the backyard.
