After their stunning comeback victory, the Mets went crazy in the clubhouse, popping champagne in celebration as they clinched a spot in the NLDS with a 4-2 victory over the Brewers. Pete Alonso, the hero of Game 3 whose dramatic three-run home run put the Mets ahead in the top of the ninth inning, was at the center of it all with an unusual playoff anecdote. Alonso, speaking to reporters at the visiting clubhouse at American Family Field, explained that he picked a pumpkin this week in preparation for an exciting series of games with the team. Brewers. “Nothing says fall more than playoff baseball and pumpkins,” said Alonso, who went pumpkin picking with his wife, Haley, at a farm about 25-30 minutes outside the city.
Manager Carlos Mendoza, who won his first playoff series as a major league manager, also gave an uplifting speech during a lull in the chaos. “We are still happy, we are still smiling, this is us!” Mendoza said. “And we continue to believe keep going!” The captain then joined in the fun by spraying champagne into the joyous scene.
