William sets. Here's the pitch. Swinging a fly ball to right field. Pretty well hit,

free-lick back at the wall. He jumps. It's gone. He did it. He did it. Pete Alonzo with the most

memorable home run of his career. Pumps his fist as he round second. It's a three-run homer.

He's given the Mets a three-to-two lead. They all pour out of the dugout.

Alonzo on his way to home plate.

They're waiting for him.

He hits the plate.

He is first congratulated by Nimmo.

Hugged by Lendor.

There are a dozen Mets waiting for him outside the dugout.

Pete Alonzo keeps this fairy tale season going with the fairy tale swing of his career.

Three to two New York. That's pretty good. That's right. I'm a baseball expert. And if you have any

questions about the game, I'll be ready to answer them. That's what I do. Good for you.

Yeah, that was awesome. Well, they did. They ruined it because Winker got hit and then Marte drove him in.

So they tacked on a run to make it four, two, not three, two.

But the Mets do win is David Peterson closed it out.

Big double play with the assist of Francisco Lendor and the Mets take the series in three.

Here was Alonzo on ESPN, so it's going through your mind in that ninth inning at bat.

No, I was just looking out over the middle of the plate, just looking to hit something hard forward.

I mean, man, this is something that you practice in the backyard as a kid.

I'm just happy to come through for the boys.

He did come through for the boys in a big, big way. And if not for Lindor, by the way, maybe it wouldn't have happened.
